AI Internship Programme
Introduction
To groom the next generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) talents in Singapore, AI Singapore (AISG), in collaboration with the Centre for Strategic Infocomm Technologies (CSIT), has introduced the AISG AI Internship Programme (AIIP). AIIP offers a unique opportunity for young talents to gain hands-on experience in the dynamic field of AI. Successful applicants will work alongside AISG’s AI Engineers and AI Apprentices on real-world projects that span across diverse AI domains, including Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Generative AI (Large Language Model).

Programme Details
AIIP is a 3 – 6 month structured programme that immerses you in the world of AI. The internship comprises of two phases:
- Deep-skilling Phase (3 weeks): The first three weeks are dedicated to establishing a strong foundation in AI and software engineering proficiency. Interns will undergo intensive training and hands-on exercises to build their technical skills and knowledge, primarily using Python.
- Project Phase (Remaining duration): Following the deep-skilling phase, interns will embark on real-world AI projects, guided and mentored by AISG AI Engineers. This phase provides invaluable experience in developing AI solutions, allowing interns to apply their knowledge to practical challenges and make tangible contributions.
Throughout the internship, you’ll receive a monthly stipend of up to SGD2,000.
There are three intakes of internships offered per year:
- January to May/June
