Yes, there are plenty of AI usecases outside of AI. Is your goal to learn the foundations of data science and making AI models from a math and CS perspective? Or are you looking to use some AI tools to make an impact?

I used to coach robotics teams. If you join a local FTC or FRC team as a programmer, you’ll learn and use object detection (openCV, tensorflow, etc.), likely by reaching out to programmers in other teams and learn from them. Summer is usually when the programmers polish their skills.
