Welcome to the University of Southampton AI Society!
What do we do?
At the University of Southampton AI Society we aim to create a common learning space for people with an interest in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. We organise talks with professionals from the AI industry and with research staff from well-known institutes, as well as hackathons and workshops.
How are we structured?
Our society is organized into four divisions: Education, Projects, Partnerships and Marketing. All the divisions collaborate together to achieve the society's goal.
- Education: The Education Division is responsible for all the educational events. They make sure that workshop leaders and invited speakers carry out their work in an ethical and professional manner. The Education Division is also responsible for the practical organization of workshops and talks (i.e. planning a yearly activities calendar, finding and inviting speakers, booking the needed spaces...). Want to help organizing amazing workshops and talks (even as a speaker)? Join the Education Division.
- Projects: The Projects Division is the innovative place where theory meets practice. By joining this division you will be able to work on project proposals, become a project lead, take part in exciting practical projects and vote for the best ones. Are you a practical person with notable coding or project management skills? Join the Projects Division.
- Partnerships: The Partnerships Division takes care of the AISoc internal and external relationships, keeping them meaningful and profitable. The Partnerships Division is responsible for developing a Sponsorship Plan, finding sponsors, and regularly keep in touch with them. The Partnerships Division closely works with the Treasurer (for finance-related reasons) and with the Education division (curating relationships with guest speakers). Want to professionally network with AI companies and professionals from all over the world? Join the Partnerships Division.
- Marketing: The Marketing Division takes care of the AISoc brand, making sure that the online and offline presence is coherent and meaningful, in affinity with AISoc purpose and values. The Marketing Division is in charge of regularly creating content (photo, video and digital content) for our social media accounts, posting it, and reporting analytics to the rest of the committee. Are you a creative mind who likes creating impactful digital content? Join the Marketing Division.
