World’s First AI-Exclusive Higher Education Institution, Saras, Announces its Launch in India
The Launch of Saras AI Institute in India is going to mark a significant milestone as the world’s first higher education institution dedicated solely to Artificial Intelligence (AI). This US-based, state-approved degree-granting institution aims to address the growing demand for AI professionals and contribute to the rapidly expanding AI job market.
