Our mission

“Ai Society at Baylor exists to equip the Baylor community to learn, build, and apply artificial intelligence in approachable and responsible ways through education, hands-on development, and community collaboration.”

About the society

What is AiS?

Ai Society at Baylor is a place for students who want to actually understand and use AI in a real way, not just hear people talk about it. It is built for beginners and for students who want a deeper, hands-on experience.

On one side, we help students learn through guest speakers, workshops, case studies, and foundational AI training. On the other, we create opportunities to work on real projects, build tools, and explore AI systems, gaining practical experience that connects to business, technology, and real-world problem-solving.

It is not just for highly technical students, and it is not only for people who already code. It is for students who are curious, willing to learn, and interested in seeing how AI can be applied in real settings.

How we're organized

Three pillars, one mission.

Each pillar is owned by peer officers, and the best work happens where they overlap.

Community Education

Recruiting a committed cohort and running the Foundation Series so anyone can contribute.

AI Technical Development

Strategy frames the problem, Architecture keeps it coherent, Engineering ships it.

External & Campus Impact

Speakers and partners on one side, a clear public presence on the other.

Questions

Good things to know.

Thinking about joining AiS? Here are the short answers.

Do I need AI or coding experience?

No. Many members start with curiosity and nothing more. The Foundation Series exists precisely to take beginners to the point of contributing.

Do I have to be a business major?

AiS lives in the Hankamer School of Business, but applied AI touches every field. Students from across Baylor are welcome.

What's the time commitment?

Regular meetings plus the time you put into projects and the Foundation Series. It scales with how involved you want to be.

Come build the useful kind of AI.

No prior experience required. Just curiosity and follow-through. We'll teach you the tools and put you on real work that ships.
