Degree In Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence can be described as intelligence level of human beings shown by the machines or software. In the recent years it has gained worldwide attention due to the scope of development of the concept and the wide range of the application of the same. As there has been an increasing recognition in the importance of the artificial intelligence, several universities have started providing degrees and courses in this field.

Importance Of The Course

The importance of the course in artificial intelligence lies in the fact that it has the ability to create a never-ending thought process that could solve our problems. It enhances the skills to think in every possible manner. This course aims to develop the basic skills for problem solving, exploring the system of knowledge, representation and measuring the human intellect from a quantitative perspective.

Why Student Should Opt For The Course?

The courses of Artificial Intelligence are usually selected by students because of various reasons. Basically the course covers an extensive range of skills, which can be applied to a very wide range of application areas. These skills may be applicable to Automated Reasoning, Case-Based Reasoning, Computer Vision, Data Mining, Intelligent Agents, Intelligent Planning and Scheduling, Intelligent Robotics, Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Engineering, KnowledgeManagement, Model-based Reasoning, Qualitative Reasoning, Search, Semantic Web and Natural Language Processing.

Some International Colleges/Universities Providing Quality Education

Georgia University

It offers Master of Science in artificial intelligence (M.S.A.I.). This course is conducted by an interdisciplinary institute for artificial intelligence. It includes specialization of certain areas which contain natural language processing, logic programming, knowledge representation, expert systems, generic algorithms, expert database, neutral networks, automated reasoning and cognitive modelling. Certain more subjects like microelectronics and robotics were added later.

University of Advancing Technology

It offers Bachelor of Science in artificial life programming. This course is based on the fact that any software specially designed to solve the problems of complex biological world will be great help to the mankind. Person learning this course will go through the study of applications which will involve evolutionary and genetic algorithm, agent based models, artificial neutral network, cellular automata and artificial life methodologies.

The University of Edinburgh

University of Edinburgh is the oldest and prime institution in the field of research. It offers Master’s course in the field of artificial intelligence (Artificial intelligence M.Sc).
