Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field that involves the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. Research in this field is focused on improving the accuracy and efficiency of AI systems, as well as exploring new applications for this technology.

AI is a term that is no longer confined to academia or the high-tech industry but one that has entered the layman’s vocabulary. The advances in AI technology have positively impacted essentially all areas of knowledge and learning. IIT Hyderabad has positioned itself to become a leader in this space by introducing strong teaching and research programs in this area. As an example, IITH is the only institute in India (as of this writing) to offer undergraduate, graduate, and research degree programs in AI. A diverse team of faculty from various areas of engineering, mathematics, and liberal arts conducts cutting-edge research in core and applied areas of AI. This is evidenced by publications in top-notch conferences and journals, numerous sponsored projects, and strong industry collaboration.
