AI engineers lead technology’s charge into the future and it is currently one of the most in-demand roles. Similarly, demand for Data Engineers is also skyrocketing. KnowledgeHut upGrad, a technology skilling provider and a part of Asia’s Higher Edtech major, upGrad,  launched its industry redefining Data engineering and AI Engineering Boot-camps. Over the next 2-3 quarters, KnowledgeHut will take the current 40-50 Data Science courses to more than 100 ensuring that learners are fully equipped with all the tools they may need for the future of skills. With the launch of these courses, KnowledgeHut has become the only company in India that has the competency and depth to provide the most comprehensive package with all the possible tools and technologies needed to cover the entire spectrum in the Data Science category.

AI engineers combine engineering, computer science, and machine learning principles to give machines problem-solving abilities. AI engineers create advanced learning models applicable across industries including manufacturing, finance and healthcare among many others. AI engineers are responsible for some of the most influential inventions like self-driving cars, AI-generated video and music suggestions and predictive analysis in sports etc. 

While Data Scientists use their skills to create models and solve problems, data engineers build and manage the infrastructure that sits between data sources and data analytics. Data engineers work in a variety of settings to build systems that collect, manage, and convert raw data into usable information for data scientists and business analysts to interpret. Their ultimate goal is to make data accessible so that organizations can use it to evaluate and optimize their performance, making Data Engineers central to and enterprise’s data team.
