The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has updated the curriculum of all engineering programmes with specific component for study of Artificial Intelligence.
The industry and the academia had together formulated the content covering topics like Data Analytics, Deep Learning, AI Ethics, and Internet of Things, Rajive Kumar, Member Secretary of AICTE, New Delhi, said in Coimbatore on Friday.
AI was playing a transformative role and there was a need for inter-disciplinary knowledge, Prof. Kumar said, addressing the 13th Graduation Day ceremony of Dr. NGP Institute of Technology.
Emphasising the need for engineers to develop and deploy AI technologies ethically, the AICTE Chairman said the new curriculum will prepare students for the job markets. Students were already using their current AI expertise to develop low-cost solutions for the benefit of the common man, he said.
The National Education Policy (NEP) gives an opportunity for life-long learning while working, he said, and appealed to the young engineers to constantly update their knowledge alongside earning credits by deriving the advantage of the flexibility in the policy.
