openair scholars is an intensive

four-month full-time six-month program

we provide stipends and more importantly

mentorship to engineers from

underrepresented backgrounds

to study deep learning and to produce

our project

this program is important to us to open

add to the field because diversity is

core to ai having a positive effect on

the world

i think that it’s necessary to ensure

that the advanced ai systems in the

future are built to benefit everyone and

with the context and background of

everyone’s

of everyone’s expertise scholars are all

strong engineers but they come from a

wide variety of fields software

aerospace physics

others and the scholars that are

presented today are in the top two

percent of applicants

this is something that we hope to do

much more in the future and we hope that

more of the field will do as well

were the or short of great talent in the

field in general

and we have found continuously that by

bringing in people who have

a strong background engineering and

interest in artificial intelligence

we can create more talent in the field

uh thanks to the mentors at openai who

have given time and guidance over the

last few months

without them this program wouldn’t be

possible at all um it takes a lot of

commitment to be able to make this work

uh and we’re super thankful that they do

uh and most of all we’re thankful

to the scholars for uh for joining the

program and for

the work they’ve done here
