New Delhi, Sept. 4 -- IIT Delhi has set up an independent School of Artificial Intelligence (ScAI) on its campus. The AI school will commence its Ph.D. program from the next admission cycle, i.e. January 2021. IIT Delhi also plans to offer postgraduate (PG) degree courses.

The one-of-its-kind school will have more than 50 IIT Delhi faculty and aim to increase the research productivity in the field of AI. It aims to become a center for industry or government to collaborate or fund AI innovations. Speaking about the school, V. Ramgopal Rao, Director, IIT Delhi stated that we need a program in AI. He added that because current degrees are broad, they do not make it easy for students to learn the depths of different subfields within AI.
