Students, faculty & staff trained

Healthcare

AI can assist in analyzing vast amounts of patient data to improve the accuracy of

diagnoses and treatment plans. It can also aid in developing personalized

medicine, which tailors treatment plans to an individual’s genetic makeup and

medical history. AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can provide immediate

medical advice and assistance to patients, reducing wait times for medical advice.

Digital Manufacturing

AI can optimize supply chain management, logistics, and inventory control, which can

reduce costs and improve productivity. It can also develop predictive maintenance

models, which can reduce downtime and prevent equipment failure, thereby

increasing operational efficiency.

Cybersecurity

AI can help identify potential threats by analyzing large amounts of data

and respond quickly to prevent or minimize the impact of cyber attacks.

AI-powered security solutions can detect fraud by using behavioral

biometrics to identify an individual’s unique behavioral patterns.

Metaverse

AI can be used to develop more realistic and interactive

virtual experiences. It can enable intelligent virtual

assistants and chatbots to provide personalized customer

service and support, making virtual experiences more

engaging and accessible to users.
