Each year, aivancity offers its third-year students the opportunity to participate in an international learning trip focused on artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative, which centers on exploring the opportunities, challenges, and developments related to AI, offers a choice of four destinations: Morocco, India, Germany, and Porto, with the trip lasting three weeks plus one week of optional cultural immersion. Each student takes part in only one of these learning trips.

Each student completes one of these four learning trips, of their choice.

At the end of the fourth year of the Grande École Program, aivancity offers its students the opportunity to take a three-week learning trip. Students travel to the United States for a three-week learning trip at UC Berkeley, followed by a one-week independent cultural immersion experience that includes writing a “surprise report.”

aivancity’s “Grande École”-style artificial intelligence program trains future IAgénieurs® capable of addressing the many economic and societal challenges related to harnessing the potential of data and artificial intelligence—technologies that rank among the most profoundly transformative in human history, on par with fire and writing. The world will soon be populated by intelligent agents, some acting autonomously, others enhancing human intelligence, skills, and performance. Some of these agents will be purely software-based, while others will reside in robots, cars, drones, satellites, and every type of hardware imaginable.

The San Francisco Bay Area, which includes Berkeley and Silicon Valley, has been at the forefront of numerous technological advances for decades. Key factors include the presence of universities with exceptionally strong technical programs, the world’s largest ecosystem of technology companies and startups, and investors with budgets that remain unmatched.
