Applied AI Intern

Summary

Hybrid Intelligence Academy teaches professionals how to use AI in their jobs. Our learners are experienced people who want to use AI to improve the work they already do, so they can save time, reduce overload, sharpen their thinking, and remain valuable.

HIA is offering a paid 8-week Applied AI Internship for the Summer 2026. The role is designed for an undergraduate student who wants serious exposure to how to apply AI in a professional setting. The intern will receive practical instruction and guided experience in AI tool building and testing, course support, content, marketing, research, and business documentation.

The strongest candidate will NOT be pursuing a primary degree or career in computer science. Nonetheless, they will have already have spent serious time with AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude, and will be the kind of student who figures things out fast. We are looking for brains, curiosity, and enough AI experience to know when the model is helping and when it needs mroe guidance.

Our new intern will gain experience by assisting HIA’s founders with projects covering a wide range of subjects critically important to an AI advisory and enablement start-up.
