Imperial
AI Society


The student-led platform connecting AI talent, research, building and industry. We teach the foundations, fund student research, run the hackathons where that work gets built, and put the strongest members in front of the companies hiring them.

This app is the pitch. Alongside our stall, we built the fair a companion - search that understands what you mean, a map that knows where everything is, and a plan that walks you past your societies in order. If it helped, this is what we do all year. Come build the next one.
