Abstract

We introduce an AI-focused traineeship program for graduate students, with integrated research and education components. A key goal of the program is to contribute to diversifying the AI research workforce. We describe the program and then introduce multiple strategies to achieve interdisciplinarity, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. In addition, we include early evaluation results.
