Telangana's AI University to become operational in two months
Hyderabad, Dec 1 (IANS) The Artificial Intelligence University, being established with the technical collaboration of some of the world’s top universities, will be launched within the next two months, announced Telangana’s Minister for Information Technology and Industries, Duddilla Sridhar Babu, on Monday.
He said the initiative will provide advanced training in emerging technologies to software engineers and students who are completing their studies.
The upcoming AI University, opening in the next two months with support from leading global institutions, will drive large-scale reskilling and upskilling for engineers and students entering the AI era.
The minister stated this at the inauguration of the Covalent AI Innovation Centre.
Sridhar Babu said the rapid growth of AI has made it essential for professionals—whether in coding or other technology domains—to upgrade their skills. The upcoming AI University will serve as a platform for reskilling and upskilling, equipping the workforce with cutting-edge capabilities.
The IT minister said that while Silicon Valley represents global technology leadership, Shenzhen symbolises world-class production, and Singapore stands for discipline and good governance—Hyderabad is emerging as a unique combination of all three.
“Hyderabad now stands at the top as the city with the highest number of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in the country. Leading global banking and financial institutions have chosen Hyderabad for establishing their GCCs, which is a matter of immense pride. The city has also made remarkable progress in the life sciences sector—one-third of the vaccines produced in India are manufactured here, and numerous healthcare innovation centres are coming up.
