The new NIELIT and Intel India Agentic AI Skilling Program. Learn how students can access courses, gain high-tech training, and join India's mission to train 1 crore youth in AI.
Artificial Intelligence is transforming rapidlyfrom simple messaging systems to independent issue solvers. The National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT) has collaborated with Intel India. To make sure that young people and students are keeping up with the change.
This initiative was announced during a National Leadership Dialogue in New Delhi, aiming to train 1 crore young people in advanced artificial intelligence. This program is focused on Agentic AI, which can think, plan and perform complex tasks without much societal interference.
What is Agentic AI and What is its Significance to Students?
Agentic AI functions independently in pursuit of definite goals. This means that agents are capable of browsing the web, writing and testing code and working with other digital tools.
It is essential for students and job seekers to have knowledge about agentic AI, which is fast becoming an important component of one’s employability skills these days.
