New DeepMind scholarships create AI study opportunities for postgraduates

New scholarships offer students from underrepresented backgrounds the chance of postgraduate study in AI and machine learning. Interdisciplinary artificial intelligence group DeepMind has renewed its philanthropic commitment to postgraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds who wish to study AI and machine learning at Imperial's Department of Computing. A gift to the Department from DeepMind will support six new postgraduate scholarships in AI and machine learning over the next few academic years. DeepMind's gift provides funding for four Master's-level scholarships and two PhD scholarships, all with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The scholarships are targeted at groups who are currently underrepresented in computing, particularly women and those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds.
