Fusemachines AI Fellowship Goes Global
In order for the future generations to thrive, it’s high time we acknowledge our obligation to educate the young students about Artificial Intelligence. Fusemachines has already taken an initiative in this arena. After the completion of a successful first semester in Nepal (2016/17), the Fusemachines AI Fellowship is back with a global approach.
What is Fusemachines AI Fellowship?
The Fusemachines AI Fellowship is a one-year program that aims to create a talent pool of AI engineers. It is targeted at interested maths/programming students to provide them with proper education on AI and its sub-theories. This fellowship is focused on disseminating valuable knowledge about Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and producing qualified AI experts.
When and where?
The first session (2016/17) has already successfully been completed in Kathmandu, Nepal, with a remarkable number of participants/candidates. We are set to launch another session (2017/18) in Nepal.
