Many students seeking AI internships limit their search to “AI intern” on LinkedIn, competing with thousands for a handful of positions. In contrast, smaller companies, startups, and research teams often post remote roles on their own career pages, Ashby boards, Greenhouse, or Google Forms, which receive fewer applications. I have compiled a list of remote AI/ML internships in India, the US, and Canada available this October.
Some positions are suitable for beginners, while others are research-focused. Please review each description carefully, as finding the right fit is more important than the company’s brand.
Remote AI/ML Internships for October
Here are the remote AI/ML internships across India, the US, and Canada that you can apply to this October.
Remote Internships in India
Remote roles based in India are generally the most accessible for students and recent graduates, with several open to current college students:
- UM IT – ML Intern
- Dexter’s Tech – ML Intern
- Lexsi Labs – AI Research Intern
- MediNex – GenAI Intern
- Daice Labs – AI/ML Engineer Intern
UM IT and Dexter’s Tech share the same application form, so a single well-prepared application will be considered for both positions.
The Lexsi Labs position is research-oriented; submitting a GitHub repository or a brief summary of a reproduced paper will be more valuable than listing certificates. The MediNex role offers a strong entry point for those interested in working with LLMs and generative AI.
Preparing for Your First AI/ML Interview?
If you have identified an internship of interest, ensure you are prepared for the interview process. I recommend Cracking Your First AI/ML Interview as a helpful resource for first-time applicants.
Remote Internships in the US
US-based roles often require a strong foundation in fundamentals, though several are open to students who can demonstrate practical project experience:
- Jobright – ML Engineer Intern
- Chai – AI Automation Intern
- Datacor – AI Engineer Intern
- NVIDIA – PhD Research Intern
- OnePay – AI Research Intern
The Chai position emphasizes prompt engineering and workflow automation, providing a practical entry into applied AI for those without an extensive mathematics background.
The NVIDIA position is intended for PhD candidates; please apply only if you are enrolled in a doctoral program. For other roles, review the eligibility requirements before submitting your application.
Remote Internships in Canada
- Jobright – ML Engineer Intern
- Kinaxis – AI/ML Research Intern
- Yotta Labs – Research Intern
- Cohere – Research Intern
Cohere is a leading organization in LLM research, so competition is strong. If you are applying, a focused project on language models, such as fine-tuning, evaluation, or retrieval, will be more impactful than a broad portfolio.
The Takeaway
An internship is not awarded solely to the most credentialed candidate. It is given to those who demonstrate public learning through a functional project, a clear explanation of their work, and a willingness to continue improving.
Listings change frequently, so please verify that each position is still available and review the eligibility requirements before applying.
Select three roles from this list, develop a small project relevant to them, and submit your first application this week. This approach will help you progress from wanting an AI internship to securing one.
