If you’re a student, you’ve probably noticed that Artificial Intelligence is now much more than just ChatGPT prompts. It’s about Agentic AI, RAG pipelines, and specialized Small Language Models (SLMs). The challenge is finding good internships where you actually get to work with code instead of just handling spreadsheets. In this article, I’ll share my top picks for AI/ML internships for freshers.
AI/ML Internships for Freshers
Here’s my list of 12 top AI/ML internships from India, the UK, the USA, and Canada. These companies are making a real impact in the field.
- Lexsi Labs – AI Research Intern (India)
- CrashPlan – AI/ML Engineer Intern (India)
- Crisil – GenAI Intern (India)
- Workato – AI Engineer Intern (USA)
- Typeface – ML Intern (USA)
- UiPath – AI Engineer Intern (USA)
- AVEVA – AI/ML Intern (UK)
- Viridien – ML Engineer Intern (UK)
- Spotify – ML Intern (UK)
- Exiger – AI Data Engineer Intern (Canada)
- IBM – ML Developer Intern (Canada)
- Precision AI – LLM Engineer (Canada)
Don’t just send in your application. Try building a project similar to what these companies work on. For example:
- Want the Spotify role? Build a music recommender using the Spotify API.
- Want the Precision AI role? Build a RAG app that answers questions about agriculture using a PDF of a farming manual.
Closing Thoughts
I hope these AI/ML internships help you find the role you’re looking for.
Choose two or three roles from the list that really interest you. Look up the company, check out their engineering blog, and write a cover letter that says, “I saw you’re solving X problem, and here is a project I built that relates to it.” This will help you stand out.
