Artificial intelligence is a subject with great development potential, and it can be predicted that it will be a "must-have" for the discipline layout of major universities in recent years. ChatGPT, which caused a "big earthquake" in various industries, corresponds to AI artificial intelligence in its professional field.

Today, I would like to recommend 5 British universities and American universities in the three echelons. Among them, ** five British universities are firmly in the top 10 in the UK in the QS computer subject rankings, and all of them offer artificial intelligence-related majors**.

Artificial intelligence is an extremely challenging science, and those who do it must understand computing, psychology, and philosophy.

Artificial intelligence is a very broad science, which consists of different fields, such as computer science, mathematics, neurology, imaging, linguistics, signal science, automation, logic, game science, psychology and so on.

In general, a major goal of artificial intelligence research is to enable machines to perform complex tasks that normally require human intelligence.

Next, we will introduce several universities in the United States that offer artificial intelligence majors or courses. We divide them into three echelons according to the popularity and difficulty of applications.

First Echelon

Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon university

**As a pioneer of CS and AI majors, Carnegie Mellon University's artificial intelligence major ranks first in both US News and CS Rankings. **

CMU's artificial intelligence major is set in the School of Computer Science. The learning content includes CS, software research, and human-computer interaction, and the faculty is very strong.

The master's program has a total of 3 semesters. The application requires an undergraduate background in related disciplines, GRE scores and English scores as an international student.

Stanford University

Stanford University

**Ranked 3rd in US News professional list and 4th in CS Ranking's professional ranking. **

Stanford University's artificial intelligence major is a direction under the computer science major.

Stanford University is a leader in the United States and the world in various fields such as computer theory, hardware, software, database and artificial intelligence. The school's undergraduate degree in artificial intelligence covers a comprehensive and cutting-edge curriculum, including computational biology, speech recognition, cognition and machine learning.

The school offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a built-in artificial intelligence course and a Master of Science in Computer Science with a built-in artificial intelligence or human-computer interaction course.

MIT

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT for short), as a veteran science and engineering school, has made great achievements in AI and is very keen on the latest developments in the industry. As early as 2018, MIT planned to use one billion dollars to build a new artificial intelligence college-MIT Schwarzman School of Computing.

At this stage, it is expected that MIT will merge the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), Institute of Data, Systems and Society (IDSS) and the MIT Quest for Intelligence into the college, other units May also join.

It can be seen that while cultivating new artificial intelligence talents, MIT is also committed to applying artificial intelligence technology to all research fields of the school, paying more attention to the practical application of new technologies.

Second Echelon

Duke University

Duke University

**US News ranks Duke University's artificial intelligence major at No. 21 on the professional list, and CS Rankings at No. 30. **

Duke University's School of Engineering has added a Master of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence for Product Innovation to its 2020 graduate program.

The application for postgraduate majors in artificial intelligence requires an academic background in engineering or science. IELTS and TOEFL are required for language scores, but no minimum score is set. GRE is optional.

Northwest University

Stanford University

**US NEWS ranks Northwestern University's artificial intelligence major at 24th, and CS Rankings ranks it at 49th. **

Northwestern University's School of Engineering offers a computer science major for its undergraduate programs, and graduate programs include MS in Artificial Intelligence.

Unlike other schools, Northwestern University AI students can choose from more than 20 different course content. There's even a course that allows students to use IBM's Watson, an intelligent computer, to build an entirely new product. Its computer science graduate application requires TOEFL 90/IELTS 7.0, with an average GPA of around 3.5.

Third Echelon

UC-SAN DIEGO

UC San Diego

**The artificial intelligence major ranks 5th in CS Rankings and 11th in US News. **

The School of Engineering offers an undergraduate track in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) for engineering majors, and artificial intelligence and machine learning-related courses for other engineering undergraduates.

The research field of artificial intelligence is also offered in the graduate courses of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

New York University

New York University

**New York University's artificial intelligence major is ranked 19th and 18th in US News and CS Rankings, respectively. **

Although the school does not have a separate artificial intelligence major, both the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering have graduate programs in computer science. Among them, the CS major of the College of Engineering provides preparatory courses, which are more friendly to students with weaker computer backgrounds, and the difficulty is lower than that of CS in the College of Arts and Sciences.

The Department of Computer Science in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences mainly offers research fields such as algorithms and theories, cryptography, computer graphics, and machine learning; the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the Faculty of Science and Engineering mainly offers core courses such as basic operating systems, computer networks, and algorithm design and analysis.

The computer science major has been rated as the No. 1 in the TOP 100 careers with the best employment, the No. 1 in the best STEM careers, and the No. 1 in the best technical careers by US News. It has always been one of the most popular applications for studying abroad.

Among them, the direction of artificial intelligence is the "top stream" with the fastest development and the highest potential in computer science. There is a large demand for talents. Compared with other technical positions, the competition is low and the salary is relatively high. Therefore, now is a great time to enter the field of artificial intelligence. According to different branches of artificial intelligence, employment also has many different directions to choose from.
