A new program in Amritsar aims to train children to become AI developers, as announced by Gurpal.
Amritsar has launched a pioneering program to train children in artificial intelligence development, according to Gurpal, a local technology advocate. The initiative seeks to introduce young minds to AI concepts and coding skills at an early age.
The program will be conducted through workshops and hands‑on projects, enabling students to create simple AI applications. Gurpal emphasized that the curriculum will be tailored to be age‑appropriate while covering fundamentals such as machine learning, data handling, and ethical AI use.
Experts believe that early exposure to AI could give Indian children a competitive edge in the global tech arena. The initiative also aims to spark interest in STEM fields among the youth of Punjab, potentially boosting the region’s future workforce in technology.
