[Jobs roundup] Want to be a part of the exciting AI journey? Here are some startup openings
From being a buzzword to becoming an integral part of India’s startup scene, AI is here to stay. We look at the skills needed for a career in this thriving sector.
Over the last few years, India’s startup journey has come a long way, and artificial intelligence (AI) has become a fundamental part of it. Startups are leveraging the use of AI and techniques like machine learning (ML) in different areas including education, health, finance, and agriculture. Some startups have gone on to make the impossible a reality – be it early-stage breast cancer detection or self-driving cars.
Though people are sceptical of the risks associated with AI, governments and organisations are more open to technological developments.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, during her Budget speech on Friday, said the government would focus on skilling youth in areas of AI and Internet of Things (IoT). Investors are also betting big on AI-powered startups.
If you too want to be a part of the much-talked-about AI startups in India, YourStory presents a list of openings:
