Empowering Your AI Journey: Exploring Post-Grad Pathways Beyond Traditional Programs

I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in data science a couple months ago. I'm interested in applying to any Pre-Doc research programs or AI residencies. However, I have had a little bit of trouble finding other organizations offering something like Ai2's pre-doc positions. I've noticed that the websites for lots of AI residencies at big companies haven't been updated for a while. Does that mean these programs are essentially defunct?

I know another way to gain research experience is to apply to competitive fellowships like Anthropic's Safety Program or MATS. I wonder if there are also some lesser-known fellowships which nonetheless allows for one to gain research experience.
