Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur will set up India’s first Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI) School. In this connection IIT Kharagpur has signed a tripartite agreement with its alumnus and social activist Vinod Gupta and ‘IITKGP Foundation USA’. Under this agreement, IIT Kharagpur will establish the ‘Benjamin Gupta School of Physical AI’. The school will work to promote research in AI, encourage interdisciplinary learning, and encourage technology that directly connects to the physical world.

Let’s understand the whole thing in detail. Masanal, let’s know what is the plan of IIT Kharagpur to start India’s first Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI) School. We will know how much funds will be spent on this and where these funds will come from.

AI School Rs. 35 crore will start

IIT Kharagpur Rs. Will launch India’s first Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI) School with a fund of Rs 35 crore.
