Overview

The Artificial Intelligence market is expected to reach $65.48 billion by 2020. According to the projections made for 2030, this value will reach $1,581.70 Billion, increasing at 38.0% CAGR from 2021 to 2030. AI has almost become synonymous with the future of technology. With AI outperforming human efforts, organisations increasingly opt for AI to increase efficiency and slash costs in the long run. AI, Big Data, ML, and NLP are ranked 2nd amongst the top tech priorities for 2021-22, according to the NASSCOM Tech CEO Survey 2022.

Across all industries, there is a growing need for intelligent and accurate decision-making systems. As a result, AI and ML technologies have seen exponential growth and will likely remain relevant for many years. Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that aids programmes in advancing their prediction precision by utilising old databases. Artificial intelligence has already begun showing its effects in the form of convenience that it has provided humans. The main focus of AI and ML is to create machines and programmes with problem-solving skills and goals like human beings. The scope of AI and ML lies in technology, financial services, military, national security, gaming, agriculture, healthcare, and many more.

The MCA in Artificial Intelligence programme offered at the School of Computer Science and IT at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), is a gateway for those who want to make a career in the lucrative and fastly emerging field of AI and ML.
