ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SCHOLAR PROGRAM

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SCHOLAR PROGRAM

Advance your career at the highest levels of Army innovation through the Artificial Intelligence Scholar Program (AISP). The Army Artificial Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C) offers two fully funded opportunities for Active Component officers, a PhD program and a Master’s degree program.

The AISP PhD develops officers with the expertise to lead independent AI research, shape Army AI strategy, and deliver cutting-edge solutions at speed. As the highest academic credential, the PhD prepares graduates to expand the body of AI knowledge, apply emerging research to real Army problems, and guide the development of future AI concepts and capabilities. The AISP Graduate Degree is a highly competitive 20–23 month program that provides selected officers the opportunity to pursue advanced studies in Data Engineering, Data Analytics, or Autonomous Systems Engineering building the technical depth needed to drive AI-enabled modernization across the force.

Upon completion, selected officers will serve a follow-on utilization broadening assignment with Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) and the Army Artificial Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C), applying their expertise directly to Army modernization efforts.

Officers with exceptional performance, strong academic potential, and a passion for leading at the forefront of emerging technology are encouraged to explore this opportunity.

Master’s Degree Programs

Master of Information Systems Management with a concentration in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics (MISM BIDA) Note: The AISP adaption of this program spans 20-22 months.

Master of Computational Data Science (MCDS) Note: applicants shall direct attention to the concentration in Systems and are encouraged to dual track with Analytics or Human-Centered Data Science.

AI SCHOLAR PROGRAM TESTIMONIALS

Discover the success of officers advancing the Army through AI expertise

The AI Scholar Program has been a great opportunity to learn and apply technical skills to problems of importance across the Army.
CPT B. Wilkins | MCDS Scholar

Serving at AI2C has been a rewarding opportunity for personal growth while building the AI capabilities the Army needs to remain operationally relevant in future warfare. This assignment has challenged me to think critically and solve complex problems.
CPT T. Michell | MISM-BIDA Scholar

Working on robotics and autonomous systems at the Artificial Intelligence Integration Center has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. My Leadership here has empowered me to design and develop capabilities I wish I had as a young maneuverist. Subsequently, testing these innovations alongside warfighters and seeing them in action during live-fire exercises brings immense personal satisfaction.
