A list of AI opportunities in academia for undergraduate and graduate students. Internships, scholarships, and fellowships.
AI Opportunities in Academia
Resources for undergraduate and graduate students looking for solid academic opportunities in AI.
Some of these programs are not explicitly centered on AI/ML/DL, but still offer the perfect opportunity to study AI. For example---Stanford's CSLI institute brings together language, psychology, and philosophy---but its members regularly publish in top NLP conferences such as EMNLP, ACL, etc. MIT's MSRP program covers a broad range of disciplines, but you can be matched with a faculty member in CSAIL.
