Hello student,

Your question mostly states that if you want to start by specialization or not. Computer science is the base for Artificial Intelligence. B.Tech in CS will help you to build a strong foundation in the field and then you can specialize in AI. However, if you start by AI branch, you wont be able to shift your career later on in the future if your likes change. Also, as you will have AI degree only, your placement chances also decrease as you will be able to participate in only the companies that are desiring for AI engineers

So, I recommend that you choose the first path as it will keep your doors wide open even after B.Tech for the M.Tech in the future.

I hope this helps, All the Best!

COMPUTER SCIENCE

Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve programs and study the performance of computer hardware and software.

Computer science is the study of algorithmic processes, computational machines and computation itself. As a discipline, computer science spans a range of topics from theoretical studies of algorithms, computation and information to the practical issues of implementing computational systems in hardware and software.

The subjects like R, Python, C, Java and other programming languages are taught in Computer Science.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition and machine vision.

Artificial intelligence, the ability of a computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings.
