At SureStart, we aim to help students develop the skills to be an AI builder. We are specifically committed to training and mentoring students from communities traditionally underrepresented in AI. 

Our program is virtual, no-cost and part-time. 


The future of AI needs diversity — diversity of experiences, perspectives, and skills. SureStart aims to bring this much needed diversity to AI by providing high-school and college students, no matter where they are located, with an equal opportunity to be an AI builder and change-maker.

If you are an interested student, learn about the SureStart program: a virtual AI training program that prepares you with in-demand technical and career skills needed to get your first AI internship.

Join us for a conversation with Pilar Manchon, the Sr. Director of Research Strategy at Google AI. Pilar has been a leading voice within the AI industry for more than 20 years: as an entrepreneur, driving her AI startup through a successful exit, and as an executive at companies such as Roku, Amazon, Intel and now Google.

After building high-performance teams, launching full product lines, raising millions in venture capital and developing leading-edge AI, Pilar believes that having an inspiring mission and a hard-working, determined and diverse team are the key to a successful venture.

Pilar’s main areas of expertise range from Natural Language Understanding and Multimodal Conversational Systems to Speech Recognition & Synthesis, Machine Translation and Language Technologies and AI in general. Pilar is particularly interested in Intelligent Conversational Agents, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Computing, Ambient Computing & Robotics.

Pilar is originally from Spain and holds an MSc. in Cognitive Science and Natural Language and a PhD in Intelligent Dialog Systems. She is also an advisor to several Al companies, academic institutions, NGOs, an investor, a lecturer and a public speaker.
