What is AI TigerTrek (AITT)?

Princeton's AI TigerTrek is a transformative experience that bridges the gap between academia and industry. By connecting students with top engineers, investors, entrepreneurs, and researchers, AITT provides a unique opportunity to engage with the pioneers shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

Our mission is to inspire and equip the next generation of leaders in AI by offering unparalleled access to insights and mentorship from the field's most influential figures.

2023 AI Tiger Trek

In our first iteration of AITT, we selected 12 students out of over 150 applicants to fly to San Francisco during Spring Break (Mar 12-17, 2023) to meet individuals from OpenAI, Google, Waymo, Anyscale, Stanford HAI, etc. as well as student groups from ML@Berkeley and the Friends and Family entrepreneurship group at Stanford. Students were not expected to have an extensive background in AI, so we hosted a one-week bootcamp on recent topics in AI prior to the trip.
