Hello,

• The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is to create computer programs that can solve problems and achieve goals like humans would.
• There is scope in developing machines in robotics, computer vision, language detection machine, game playing, expert systems, speech recognition machine and much more.
• When it comes to Artificial Intelligence scope in India, an entry-level AI professional can earn around INR 6,00,000 per annum.
• Java, Python, Lisp, Prolog, and C++ are major AI programming language used for artificial intelligence.

Data science has emerged as an attractive career option for freshers as well as experienced professionals. India is the second-highest country next to the US to have generated the demand to recruit about 50,000 Data Scientists for 2020 and 2021. The average salary for a Data Scientist with less than 1 year of experience is about 7 LPA in the Indian market.

An I.T. professional with the right mix of certifications and experience can find a permanent position in either the public or private sector.

Overall as a fellow student of this branch I would definitely recommend pursuing data science or artificial intelligence rather than information technology.

hope this helps!!
