The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the Krishnamurthy Tandon School of Artificial Intelligence, according to a report from DD News Ahmedabad.
The new school aims to foster advanced research and education in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. Details regarding the school’s curriculum, faculty appointments, and specific research focus were not immediately available. The MoU signing signifies a commitment from IIMA to expand its academic offerings into emerging technologies.
The development comes as India continues to prioritize the development and implementation of AI across various sectors. The Indian government has previously outlined strategies to promote AI innovation and ethical considerations surrounding its use.
Separately, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently praised the Ahmedabad Flower Show, recognizing its creativity and growing international reputation, as reported by DD News. This event, while distinct from the IIMA announcement, highlights Ahmedabad’s role as a center for innovation and cultural events.
In the aviation sector, Air India is taking steps to restore some of its international flights following a period of reduced service after a recent crash, DD News reported. The decision to reinstate routes follows a review of safety protocols and operational adjustments. The crash itself has as well prompted renewed discussion regarding the necessity of cockpit video recorders in modern aircraft, according to DD News.
