Vector Institute

Most classroom AI tools answer questions for students, and learning can often stop at the surface.

Chrysalis reverses that dynamic: it makes students teach the machine.

Developed by researchers at Vector and the @UWaterloo, the system acts as an interactive pupil. 🧵

Looking for your first role in AI right now can feel like shouting into a void. Between high applicant volumes and automated screening, the process often feels disconnected.

So we asked what technical hiring managers talk about behind closed doors. 🧵👇

The Vector Scholarship in AI (VSAI) provides more than graduate funding. It opens the doors to an active community of artificial intelligence researchers and professionals. 🧵

⏳ Priority applications are due this week for the 2026 Vector Graduate Student Program!

If you’re planning your master’s or PhD in AI, finding the right supervisor probably means you’re navigating dozens of directories and sending cold emails into the void. Our program offers a more direct route, putting your research fit first.

Our social, economic, and political systems patch vulnerabilities at a human pace. Artificial intelligence operates at computer speed.

On October 22, security technologist Bruce Schneier will outline why this speed disparity matters. In Conversations in Computing: Hacking AI, he will explore how AI models are discovering and exploiting loopholes in human rule systems, from tax codes to financial markets.

Join Vector, @UofTCompSci, and @TorontoSRI for this in-person discussion:

📅 Thursday, Oct. 22 at 5:00 - 7:00 p.m
📍 Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus, Toronto
ℹ️ Free admission, registration required.
