When Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold cracked the decades-old problem of life science in 2020 using artificial intelligence, it demonstrated the transformative power of data and machine learning in addressing some of the most complex analytical challenges of our time. More importantly this was an `unusual' application of machine learning in data synthesis and predictions that triggered a massive array of discovery. Applications of AI and advanced analytics are revolutionising fields far beyond traditional science. As the usage of AI and ML proliferates in the industry domain and becomes an integral part of the economy and society, IIM Ahmedabad perceives these massive advances in computation and analytics, as a call to action—an opportunity to develop leaders who can apply data-driven thinking to solve critical problems across industries and economies.
