A 12-year-old boy has been hired as a data scientist at a software company in Hyderabad, owing to his drive to be a part of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution.
Siddharth Srivastav Pilli, a student of class 7 at Sri Chaitanya School, was hired as a data scientist at a software company named Montaigne Smart Business Solutions.
"I am 12 years old and I work as a data scientist in a software company called Montaigne Smart Business Solutions. I study in Sri-Chaitanya Techno Schools in the 7th Class. My biggest inspiration for joining a software company is Tanmay Bakshi because he got a job in Google at a very young age as a developer and is helping the world understand how beautiful the Artifical Intelligence (AI) revolution is," Siddharth told ANI on Monday.
Thanking his father for getting him interested in coding from a very early age he said, "The person who helped me a lot to get a job at a young age is my dad, who used to show me different biographies and teach me coding. Everything I am today is because of him."
