AI Community of Practice & AI Leaders of Tomorrow
We bring together executives at regional firms and Notre Dame faculty and students to share best practices and execute proof-of concept projects to show what’s possible with AI in a business context.
AI Executive Group
The AI Executive Group is a network for C-suite and senior executives in the South Bend–Elkhart region. Members meet regularly to discuss AI adoption, share what's working inside their organizations, and engage with speakers from the Notre Dame network.
Membership is designed for CEOs, COOs, CTOs, and senior decision-makers at regional companies who want structured, peer-level dialogue on how AI is changing their industries and operations.
AI Leaders of Tomorrow
The AI Leaders of Tomorrow (AILOT) Fellowship pairs Notre Dame students with regional companies to work on defined AI projects over a set engagement period. Students bring technical skills and fresh perspective; companies provide real problems and organizational context.
Projects are scoped in advance so both sides know what success looks like. At the end of the engagement, companies walk away with a proof-of-concept tailored to their data and use case and students walk away with hands-on experience building AI solutions in a professional setting.
The fellowship is part of iNDustry Labs ' broader effort to develop AI-ready talent and strengthen the regional economy.
