Global Community of LatinX in AI Professionals.

Our Programs.

  • LatinX in AI hosts flagship research workshops at premier AI conferences—including NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, and NAACL—to amplify the voices and contributions of LatinX researchers on the global stage. These workshops provide a welcoming platform for scholars at all stages to present original research, gain visibility, and engage in technical dialogue with the broader AI community.

    Each workshop features:

    • Peer-reviewed research papers spanning machine learning, computer vision, NLP, ethics, and more

    • Invited talks from leading LatinX scientists and industry pioneers

    • Mentoring sessions, panels, and networking designed to build community and advance careers

    Through these workshops, LatinX in AI has built a recognized space for collaboration, visibility, and scholarly excellence—helping hundreds of researchers develop confidence, connect with peers, and access global opportunities in AI.

  • LatinX in AI’s Mentorship Program connects emerging LatinX talent with experienced researchers, engineers, founders, and industry professionals across the globe. Our goal is to create pathways for growth, confidence, and opportunity in the field of AI.

    Through structured 1:1 mentorship, group sessions, and peer circles, we support mentees in areas such as:

    • Graduate school applications and academic publishing

    • Career transitions and technical interviews

    • Research feedback and professional development

    With hundreds of matches made across borders and disciplines, our mentorship network is a cornerstone of our mission—building bridges between generations of LatinX AI leaders and cultivating a more inclusive future for artificial intelligence.

  • The LatinX in AI Research Journal is an open-access publication dedicated to showcasing original work from LatinX researchers across the artificial intelligence landscape. Our journal provides a platform for emerging voices, interdisciplinary ideas, and socially impactful research that often goes underrepresented in mainstream venues.

    Through regular issues and conference-aligned special editions, we feature:

    • Peer-reviewed papers spanning machine learning, ethics, computer vision, NLP, and more

    • Student and early-career research highlights

    • Collaborative works between academia, industry, and civil society

    By centering LatinX perspectives in AI, our journal not only elevates scholarship but also builds visibility, confidence, and academic credibility for contributors—especially those from developing countries and underfunded institutions.

  • Through the LXAI Supercomputer Access Network, we provide LatinX researchers, students, and educators with free or low-cost access to cutting-edge AI computing infrastructure—including GPU clusters and supercomputing resources—via partnerships with academic institutions, industry donors, and national labs.

    This initiative addresses one of the most critical barriers in AI research: lack of access to high-performance computing. Our network enables under-resourced scholars, particularly from Latin America and other developing regions, to:

    • Train large-scale AI models

    • Run complex experiments

    • Collaborate on globally competitive research projects

    By democratizing access to compute, we’re leveling the playing field and fostering a new generation of LatinX innovators in artificial intelligence.

  • The LatinX in AI Podcast is a storytelling platform that amplifies the voices of LatinX leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in the field of artificial intelligence. Through in-depth interviews and topical discussions, we explore the intersections of technology, identity, equity, and innovation—bringing forward stories that are too often left out of the AI narrative.

    Each episode highlights:

    • Breakthrough research and startup journeys

    • Insights into ethical AI, policy, and social impact

    • The lived experiences of LatinX professionals navigating the tech world

    Our podcast builds connection across borders and disciplines while inspiring the next generation of LatinX talent. Whether you’re in academia, industry, or just starting out, the LXAI Podcast offers valuable perspectives from across our global community.

  • In collaboration with Google Explore CSR and LatinX in AI, the LATAM Undergraduate Research Program empowers underrepresented undergraduate (and master’s-level) students in computer science and related fields. Through a semester-long mentorship and project-based experience, students develop confidence, critical research skills, and a stronger sense of belonging in the AI community.

    What participants can expect:

    • Hands-on research projects under the guidance of experienced mentors

    • Online workshops, training, and peer activities designed to improve research methods, technical skills, and academic readiness

    • Support aimed at motivating students to pursue graduate studies in computing and AI

    This program not only equips students with practical experience but also strengthens their identity as researchers and accelerates their academic and professional journey in AI.

  • Every LatinX in AI research workshop is made possible by generous partnerships with individuals and companies committed to equity in AI. Together, we raise funds for the LXAI Travel and Registration Grant Program, which helps remove financial barriers for underrepresented scholars.

    Our grants are primarily awarded to students from Latin American countries and Hispanic Serving Institutions in the United States—many of whom would not be able to attend without this support. These grants help cover critical costs like travel, lodging, and conference registration, ensuring that brilliant minds from developing regions can present their work, network, and grow their careers.

    To date, LatinX in AI has awarded over 1,100 conference and travel grants, directly enabling the participation of LatinX researchers and students in the global AI conversation.
