Perplexity has just launched an AI Business Fellowship program, designed for individuals looking to break into or expand their career in the AI industry.
This initiative, named the 1000x Fellowship, seeks applicants eager to transform into AI thought leaders and advocates within their organizations.
Participants will benefit from engaging experiences like fireside chats with industry notables such as Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, and Aaron Levie, CEO of Box, as well as workshops, notably “Build an App with Replit,” which requires no prior coding expertise.
The program also promises enriching networking opportunities, industry insights, and even free seats of Perplexity Enterprise Pro for the fellows’ companies.
Perplexity highlights its ideal candidates as business professionals with at least five years of experience, particularly those involved in strategy or cross-functional team roles. An entrepreneurial spirit and passion for AI would be favored, and the program only demands a virtual attendance of two hours a week.
The fellowship application ends on February 28, 2025.
The Bigger Picture: As AI reshapes various sectors, understanding its applications in the real world is increasingly crucial.
The recent emphasis on AI education and industrial involvement isn’t isolated.
Similar to Perplexity’s initiative, various industry giants and educational institutions have recognized the urgency of bridging the AI knowledge gap.
For instance, companies and universities have ramped up AI-supported training and development programs to foster a conducive environment for AI advancement.
According to data shared by another company Anthropic, overwhelming amount of professionals such as programmers and copywriters are using its generative AI service Claude to enhance their work.
This isn’t the first such outreach program on part of Perplexity either. The company backed by Jeff Bezos’s Amazon has tried to woo college students, including promising to give the Perplexity Pro subscription service for free to faculty, students and researchers at India’s premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
