ELAI is a free, structured Ph.D. prep program that serves as a resource to support aspiring students as they apply to graduate programs, navigate graduate school, and enter the postgraduate AI/STEM field. If you are a dedicated and passionate individual with a strong interest in pursuing a Ph.D. in AI, this program is tailor-made for you.
The Emerging Leaders in AI program aims to provide aspiring researchers with the necessary tools, resources, and mentorship to succeed in their graduate applications. By participating in this program, you will be able to leverage the following:
Mentorship from leaders in the AI field
