About the Program

Where AI Meets Diplomacy —
Accessible to Everyone, Anywhere

AI Bridge is a fully online, 8-week program that combines an official UN Certificate in AI for Social Impact (delivered by UNITAR) with a structured virtual internship in which participants collaborate in diverse, multilateral teams on real UN SDG-aligned projects.

Traditional international internships are gatekept by geography, visa restrictions, financial cost, and professional connections. AI Bridge dismantles every one of those barriers. At $800 per participant, it delivers a complete international internship experience — certificates, mentorship, cross-cultural collaboration, a global contest, and the chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to Switzerland to visit the United Nations in Geneva.

In a world where AI is shaping every field, this is your opportunity to connect technical knowledge with global impact — no matter where you're starting from.
