Education Ministry Offers 5 Free Artificial Intelligence Courses; Details Inside

The five free AI courses are being offered by the Ministry of Education through the SWAYAM platform. Professionals and students can avail the courses to get the essential skills of AI and data science in various fields, such as sports, education, science, and finance.

The courses involve Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning with Python, AI for Teachers, AI in Physics, AI in Chemistry, AI in Accounting, and Cricket Analytics with AI. Each program is specially developed to provide useful insights into its usage and applications through case studies.

Course Details

AI/ML Using Python

This course will introduce concepts in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning using Python as the programming language of Data Science. The course will cover data visualization techniques, linear algebra, statistics, optimization concepts, and more. By the end of this course, participants will have developed skills in the design and evaluation of Python-based data science solutions.

Analytics in Cricket using AI

This Sport Analytics course is specifically designed to show learners how data science is used currently in cricket. It would cover the collection and preparation of data, performance metrics like strike rate and BASRA index, and visualizing complex cricket data in Python.

AI for Educators

The course explores the possible uses of AI in education, assessment, and engagement in great detail. It was designed specifically for educators. This increases classroom productivity, helps teachers integrate AI tools into their existing methods, and gives students a more personalized experience.

AI in Physics

By providing practical instruction in machine learning and neural networks, it connects experimental physics with AI technology, allowing students to employ AI-based tools and simulations to tackle real-world physics problems.

AI in Chemistry

This course targets undergraduate students in the scientific field, introducing them to the uses of AI in molecular prediction, reaction modeling, and the process of designing drugs. The students engage directly with realistic datasets and learn how to apply Python-based methods in solving problems in chemistry. 

AI in Accounting: 

The interaction between finance and technology is the basis for this course. This course will cover a number of important subjects, including how AI helps with automation, fraud detection, financial forecasting, and data-driven decision making in accounting procedures. 

The SWAYAM portal offers all of these courses for free, with certification upon completion. This is in line with the government's goal of democratizing AI education and increasing sector-wide digital readiness.
