AI Technicians Program
A Track Record of Training AI Technicians
Over the past five years, 83 trainees (warrant officers, officers, and NCOs) have successfully completed rigorous, full-time training, then transitioned into postings at Pittsburgh's Army Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C). Their integration into the AI2C posting starts with a four-month collaborative capstone, working on real AI2C projects, and guided by mentors from both CMU and AI2C.
