Residency, Pre-Doc Programs, or Lesser-Known Fellowships for New Grads? [D]

A recent data science graduate is seeking advice on pre-doctoral research programs, AI residencies, and lesser-known fellowships to gain research experience. They noted difficulty finding updated information on AI residencies at large companies, questioning if these programs are defunct. The graduate is also interested in alternatives to competitive fellowships like Anthropic's Safety Program or MATS, hoping to discover other opportunities for research experience.

This post uniquely highlights the difficulty new graduates face in finding current information on AI residencies and pre-doctoral programs, unlike the readily available details for competitive fellowships.
