If you’re a leader or practitioner in education, technology or AI looking to make an international impact, the EdSAFE AI Alliance Fellowship is a standout programme. It’s designed to support professionals in developing safe, accountable, fair and effective AI systems within education.
This fellowship brings together global experts, provides mentorship, supports project-based work and positions you at the cutting edge of AI and education policy.
About the scholarship
The Women in AI cohort is a venue specifically designed for women working in advocacy, education, technology, and policy to unite and promote the fair and responsible integration of AI in educational settings. In order to shape AI policies that support fairness, justice, and learner well-being, this program cultivates a collaborative community where participants can advance their knowledge, acquire insightful knowledge, and hone their leadership abilities.
You will work with cutting-edge women in AI and education as mentors, participate in experiential learning, and develop useful solutions that adhere to the SAFE (Safety, Accountability, Fairness, Efficacy) framework during the fellowship. Women in AI supports your path to lead with impact, whether you’re promoting data protection, increasing AI literacy, or guaranteeing access for underprivileged students.
