12. Hype Cycle
Risk is high during the
Peak & Trough stages.
Risk is low during Slope
and Very Low during
the plateau. BUT there
is no more gold mine.
13. Where can we learn these?
Internet, of
course!!!
14. Free Resources
EdX NPTEL Tutorials Point
Coursera
Lots and lots of
MOOCs.
Training
material is
growing
exponentially
15. Soft skills
Reading makes a full man; Conference a ready
man; and writing an exact man.
--- Sir Francis Bacon
Full – Does not mean “complete”. It is the opposite of “Empty”
Conference – means Conversation
16. Where can I gain these?
Internet, of course???
NO. of course,
not!!!
18. Why do I need these?
Simply put, to gain a USP.
A reason for the recruiter to choose
you instead of your classmate.
19. Why do I need these?
• Put yourselves in the shoes of the recruiter and look at
your own profile objectively.
• No emotional statements
• No hypocrisy
• Aim for the stars. You might land on the moon.

21. Easy-to-learn-yet-high-return topics
Data Science, AI/ML
Cloud Computing
Edge Analytics
GPU accelerators – Both Programming and Hardware
Augmented Reality/ Virtual Reality
Robotic Process Automation
Robotics
Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson
Micro controllers
Internet of Things
Communication Protocols
3G, 4G, 5G, Bluetooth
Mobile app development
Web development
26. Newer
Domains
Traditional - Market Research,
Finance, Engineering,
Education, Medicine,
Astronomy
New Domains
Robotic Process Automation
Warfare and Defence - Drones,
Quadcopters
Cyber security – Filtering
content, identifying attack
vectors, Threat exposure,
incident response etc.
Media and Entertainment -
Deep fakes, GANs, Deep
Nostalgia
Advertising and Marketing-
Mass Customization
Hybrid Workforce
Sub disciplines
ML Ops
27. AI Market
places
A multi-sided-platform where
AI providers and sellers can
exchange services. NB:
Seller is not the Cloud
provider!!!
Clever blend of PaaS & SaaS.
Can be thought of as
Algorithm as a Service
Build an AI algorithm for a
specific use case. Sell it for a
license on top of cloud
Services.
Examples
AWS Marketplace
Azure Marketplace
28. AI Marketplace examples

on Amazon Market Place
29. Anything is game
AI models
Datasets
Data pipeline
management
ML Ops
AI Marketplace examples
GluonCV YOLOv3 Object Detector
By: Amazon Web Services YOLOv3 is a powerful network for fast and
accurate object detection, powered by GluonCV.
Emotion Analysis
API
Sold by:Twinword
Inc.
Deep Vision API
Sold by:Deep Vision AI, Inc
Deep Vision API is a computer vision platform allowing you to
easily integrate AI-based technology into your products, services
and applications. You can automatically understand and analyze
images and videos.Pay directly from your AWS account, quick and
seamless integration with your AWS workflow.
31. ML algorithms are run on the hardware device/sensor itself.
This is in direct contrast to cloud/server based processing of data.
Processing of data happens close to the user.
Can be on IoT senser or dedicated Edge Server
Benefits
Latency time is reduced my many orders of magnitude
CapEx and OpEx costs are reduced significantly
Increased data privacy and security
Examples
Alexa, Google Assistant,
Self driving cars
Edge AI Camera from Avinton, VIA Mobile360 Dash Cam
Edge AI
32. Originally thought of as unrelated/competing technologies
Now complementing one another
Robotic Process Automation uses specially developed programs to
automate repeatable business processes. There is no learning. Repeats
the same set of actions every time.
Great for automating simple tasks.
Typically, suitable for structured data
For complex tasks, AI comes handy because
Learns from data/past
Handles unstructured data
Robotic Process Automation and
AI
33. Specialized hardware to accelerate the processing of AI algorithms
particularly, Deep Neural Networks
GPUs
Nvidia, Intel
Vision Processing Units
Intel Neural Computing Stick, Qualcomm Snapdragon
Tensor Processing Units
FPGAs and ASICs
Special Purpose programming languages
CUDA, OpenCL
OpenVino Kit from Intel, SNPE SDK from Qualcomm
GPU Accelerators
