10 Leading Masters Programs on Artificial Intelligence from around the world
Though the concept of Artificial intelligence has been existing for quite a while, it is only in the recent years that it has picked up on the technology charts and is trending on every industry possible. Becoming one of the best-loved technologies amongst the ingenious minds across the globe, AI demands a blend of computer science, math, cognitive psychology and engineering. There is no doubt about the fact that soon the demand for professionals trained in Artificial Intelligence would outrun supply. Though there is some overlap of AI with analytics, a proficient AI professional would have deep knowledge on areas like computer vision, NLP, robotics and machine learning. AI education is still in its early days. Sifting through some of the programs on Artificial Intelligence from around the world, we found that not many educational organizations are offering AI courses yet. Most universities that are offering AI courses are doing so as a specialty of elective within larger computer science masters programs. Yet some universities, mostly in europe, have a headstart in this area and are providing dedicated masters programs in AI. With a lot of scope that this area has in store, many universities and institutes across the globe would soon tap onto this opportunity and would start offering training and courses that promises to up the knowledge and skill sets in AI and machine learning. Analytics India Magazine brings to you the 10 leading centres across the world that offer Masters Program in AI. Please note, these are dedicated master programs in AI. We have not included short term or elective offerings on AI.
