New AI school launches with 11 certificate programmes aimed at non-technical professionals, addressing India’s low AI-training penetration and preparing the workforce for future jobs.
Amity University has unveiled what it calls the world’s first School of AI, a bold initiative designed to make artificial intelligence education more accessible — especially for non-technical professionals.
Why It Matters

What the School of AI Offers
- 11 short certificate programmes combining self-paced modules with live interactive sessions every fortnight.
