“AI is not just evolving—it’s becoming the defining force in global power dynamics. Sam Altman has warned that AGI could arrive sooner than expected, and nations are racing to secure dominance in AI innovation. The gap between academia and real-world AI advancements, now nearly 4-5 years, is a critical vulnerability. As models like Deepseek push the boundaries of AI reasoning and autonomy, engineers must be equipped not just with theoretical knowledge but with the ability to drive cutting-edge AI development. IIT Roorkee’s PG Certificate in Generative & Agentic AI is designed to bridge this gap. Backed by IIT Roorkee’s academic excellence and the Futurense Leadership Council’s deep industry expertise, this program ensures that Indian engineers are not just keeping pace but leading the charge in the global AI revolution,” said Raghav Gupta, Founder and CEO of Futurense.
