Through distinct roles; Fellows, Senior Fellows, and Honorary Fellow. The program cultivates a vibrant community that spans expertise, leadership, and purpose-driven collaboration.

Participants typically begin their journey as Fellows. These are early to mid-career professionals with demonstrated achievements in AI research, application, or innovation.

Over time, Fellows may advance to become Senior Fellows, a distinction awarded to individuals who have made substantial contributions to the AI field. Senior Fellows play a key role in shaping ACAI’s strategic direction, leading policy conversations, and driving high-impact collaborative projects. At the highest level, Honorary Fellows—comprising globally recognized AI leaders and visionaries—help steer ACAI’s global ethics agenda and philanthropic partnerships.
