With an aim to provide students opportunity to explore the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a research institute facilitating the education of Artificial Intelligence will be established in Mumbai University at Kalina campus.
As AI is an undiscovered field in the education scenario, this institute will open the doors for students to get a chance to work on AI in different methods using advanced technology and facilities.
The focus of AI will be in various sectors like E-Governance, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Finance, Economics, and Manufacturing. Students will get opportunities to conduct ground-level research in these sectors.
The state government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Wadhwani Institute for Artificial Intelligence (WIAI), California and MU for this research institute. A senior officer of Mumbai University said it is the first time that such an institute will be established in Mumbai.
Students will be trained to work on development, deployment, and application of advancements in AI to extend support for the society. Wadhwani Institute will enroll faculty and students from MU as researchers to work on various projects and the institute will partner with banking, finance and Information Technology (IT) companies to facilitate industry apprentices and job opportunities.
The institute is expected to be inaugurated in the last week of February 2018.
