Digithon, the digital arm of the Telangana Information Technology Association (TITA), is commencing an internship programme in Artificial Intelligence (AI) from July 12, with support from the US-based University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). The interns who successfully complete their time at the TITA internship will receive a certificate from UTD. 

The internship is an extension of Telengana's commitment to AI; last year was declared as the year of AI by the state government. TITA, in the spirit of the state's ambition, has imparted training in AI to more than 2,000 youth. More than 96% of individuals passed the UTD-conducted exams and 80% of these even landed a job in AI. To continue the training programmes in 2021, TITA has come up with this internship programme.

TITA's ‘Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning In-plant Training cum Internship Program’ will train participants in AI projects such as facial recognition, chatbot, etc. The ensuing training session will take up projects based on machine learning (ML) and deep learning.

Participants will be exposed to industry tours and those clearing an exam post the eight-week AI programme will receive a certificate in AI & ML from the UTD.

The TITA is offering the programme at a nominal charge of Rs 10,000 for the benefit of youth in the State. Individuals interested in taking up the AI programme can register themselves at bit.ly/digithon_academy.
