“As all faculty have basic knowledge on Physics, Mathematics and Science, similarly we should have knowledge on all the courses which ever have been added in the curriculum. There are many challenges we have to face in AI & ML, this workshop will be handled with the help of experts,” said Coordinator and Dean School of Engineering, SR University, Dr Vijaya Gunturu.
