AI FOR THE COMMONWEALTH
AI For The Commonwealth (AI4CW) is a student internship program managed by the Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in partnership with the Public Interest Technology Initiative (PIT@UMass).
The AI4CW program brings together talented UMass CICS undergraduate students, state institutions, and UMass mentors to apply cutting edge generative AI to solve real-world challenges for Massachusetts institutions and communities.


AI For UMASS
Inspired by the broader “AI For The Commonwealth” state partnership program, AI4UMass is a campus-specific extension that brings together CICS undergraduates, university mentors, and project sponsors from across UMass.
Over the course of a 16-week paid internship, student teams work with faculty and staff to design, test, and implement practical AI solutions that improve how our campus works and learns.
Data Core
The Data Science and Software Engineering Core is a team of data scientists and software engineers that supports research and development.
We partner with faculty researchers, industry, government, and nonprofits to drive innovative solutions to data science and related software engineering problems.


Data Science for the Common Good
Data Science for the Common Good (DS4CG) is a summer program that trains aspiring data scientists to work on real-world problems that benefit the common good.
Our teams of computer science Master’s students collaborate with researchers, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies working in public health, education, environmental conservation, and more.
Industry Affiliate Program
Collaboration with impact. The Industry Affiliates Program supports industry partners with recruiting data science students, collaborating on research challenges, and utilizing our extensive University resources.


Industry Mentorship Program
The Industry Mentorship Program matches small teams of Data Science MS students with an industry-sponsored project. Over the course of an academic semester, each team works under the guidance of an industry mentor, a PhD student supervisor, and faculty domain experts.
Postdoctoral Program
Through the Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, the Center provides funding in support of postdoctoral researchers. The Center has provided funding to postdocs in a range of research labs at UMass Amherst.
