CENTER FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & RESEARCH(CAIR)

About the Centre:

The Center for Artificial Intelligence & Research (CAIR) in Chennai Institute of Technology (CIT) is envisioned to be one of the National Center of Excellence Artificial Intelligence Research and Developments. Over the last few of years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed from a technology with potential to a capability of national importance across the world. While AI has the potential to transform a wide range of sectors, adoption till date has been driven primarily from various sector. The real power of AI, though, lies in its transformative potential to address massive societal challenges and provides a global leadership opportunity for India in creating human-centric, foundational technologies and digital infrastructure that reimagines implementation and delivery in 21st century. CIT-CAIR is giving utmost importance to develop the research facility focused towards various research activities in the areas related to Intelligence Systems Technologies.
CAIR is a core research facility focused towards various research activities in the areas related to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Language Technologies, Computational Intelligence and Multi-Agent Systems.

Vision:

Create a world class research facility to identify and study Complex Artificial Intelligence Problems, Different Algorithms, Approaches and Methodologies and apply them to investigate Intelligence Systems.

Mission:

  • To generate new knowledge by engaging in cutting-edge research in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and to promote academic growth by offering state-of-the-art programs.

  • To undertake collaborative projects which offer opportunities for long-term interaction with academia and industry.
