AI, shaped by
young minds.

Young Minds in Artificial Intelligence is building a student-led network for AI learning, practical projects, and public understanding.

From high school to university. All experience levels welcome.

A place to learn,
build, and contribute.

You don’t need to be an AI expert to take part. We’re bringing together students who are curious about the technology and care about its place in society.

Our work

Three priorities for our first programmes. We’re recruiting the people who will help bring them to life.

AI literacy

Understand how AI works, where it fails, and how to use it responsibly.

Practical projects

Move from curiosity to building something useful.

Public understanding

Bring more student voices into the conversation.

A global network,
built locally.

Country chapters connect students nationally. School and university associations make the work happen where students already learn.
