TSW partners with IIT – Ropar to launch a brand new online course in AI & DL

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undoubtedly been the technology story of recent times, and it doesn't look like the excitement is going to wear off anytime in the near future. While no prediction engine has yet been built that can plot the course of AI over the coming decade, we can be fairly certain about what might happen over the next few years. Artificial intelligence is impacting the future of virtually every industry. From finance, to medical services, to manufacturing, to defense, the fields of machine learning (ML) and AI are revolutionizing all work places.

In a LinkedIn report - 2020 Emerging Jobs Report India - featuring the top 15 emerging jobs, ‘AI Specialist’ stood at number 2 position and according to Gartner, in the coming year, AI would open up approximately 2.3 million job opportunities!

Keeping in trend with the rising demand for AI professionals in the near future, TSW announced the launch of Post Graduate Certificate Programme in Artificial Intelligence & Deep Learning in partnership with the prestigious IIT – Ropar; that you can be a part of from the comfort of your home, via a virtual classroom.
