What is the AI Fellowship?

The AI Fellowship offers Dartmouth students paid opportunities ($20/hr+) to gain hands-on experience working with cutting-edge Voice AI and conversational systems. Fellows help train state-of-the-art conversational AI models by contributing real, natural human conversations.

​
What you’ll do

As a Voice AI Conversation Fellow, you’ll participate in natural, 15-minute conversation sessions with another fellow. These are unscripted, topic-based discussions designed to capture genuine human interaction. You and your conversation partner choose a meaningful topic and explore it together naturally.
