UMBC is offering the free ten-week AI4ALL program again this Fall. It's an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students (Fresh., Soph., and Juniors) in any major to learn about artificial Intelligence. If you'd like to share this opportunity with Political Science undergraduate majors, you can email them the text below, which includes links to more information. AI4ALL is particularly interested in engaging students from under-represented groups and from outside traditional STEM disciplines

Discover AI is a virtual program in partnership with select schools that provides students with a project-based introduction to computer science, machine learning, data, artificial intelligence, and tech careers through the lens of societal and ethical impact. In addition, students get access to AI industry leaders and are guided through a roadmap with the goal of cultivating a future career in the AI industry.

What are both the positive and negative implications of AI technology on society? How can (and does) AI affect communities in today's world? Through research, discussions, and reflection, you will explore the intersectionality of AI with other fields and articulate your own mindful perspective of AI. The program is facilitated at no cost to students.

Students that complete the program will emerge with actionable next steps in pursuing an academic or career path in AI - and the opportunity to continue in the following semester to our second program, Apply AI, and direct mentorship from industry leaders in the AI and tech industry from companies like Google, Capital One, Facebook, Slalom Consulting, Accenture, Pearson, and more.

At the end of the Discover AI program, participants receive an AI4ALL Discover AI certificate of completion.

The program is designed for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with any level of coding and/or computing/AI experience, including everything from none to advanced.

For computing majors, the program is a great supplement to your existing coursework.

Other majors are welcome as well! If accepted, you will have the opportunity to learn more about AI in a safe and thoughtful environment that offers you the opportunity to consider AI as a future career option and as a presence in your major industry/discipline

AI4ALL programs are designed to bring together and highlight voices that have been historically excluded and that will lead and shape the future of AI.
