Co-founded by PicsArt and AUA, the AI Lab allows students to explore immense opportunities in research; learn how to experiment with cutting-edge tools and technologies; receive advanced tailored training and mentorship from local and international faculty and industry experts. The AI Lab currently employs two members of the AUA faculty, lead researchers, and about 15 undergraduate students from AUA’s Akian College of Science and Engineering (CSE) majoring in computer and data science. After a six-week training course, the best performing students will be hired by the AI Lab. Both PicsArt and AUA believe there is immense untapped potential for collaboration between academia and industry.
