With more and more developers and companies increasing their use, knowledge and application of AI, or even pivoting to AI, there are students and professionals looking to expand their knowledge of AI. Some will take various courses and certificates, but others will take masters. What will you gain from a masters in AI?
In depth knowledge going beyond basic explanations - the academic rigour of a masters course will go beyond that of a course offered by Google, for example. Here you will better understand the science and maths behind AI. Therefore, you will also have greater chances to land research roles, in addition to just AI/ML/NLP programming positions.
You will work on more projects, which are also more in depth - through being assigned numerous projects and courseworks, you will grow and strengthen your skills, including through teamwork.
Less partiality to a particular company - your skills will be more general, and not influenced by any decisions made consciously or subconsciously by companies offering courses, due to the lack of incentive.
Access to enterprise software and specialised tools through university resources and licenses - as universities will be paying for your IDE licences, access to cloud solutions, etc, you will not have to worry about paying additional costs to access these. Therefore, it will be more accessible to develop hands on experience.
