Data Science & AI/ML
Washington, United States 🇺🇸
We live in exciting times where modern AI brings the promise of systems with generative, reasoning and synthesizing capabilities that can match or rival those of people. As we deploy AI to become thinking companions, it is likely to see disruptions on how we think, make decisions, solve problems, etc. It is, thus, paramount to learn how to leverage AI to protect and augment how we think, we make sense of things, solve big problems and communicate what we learn.
To meet this challenge, the Human-Centered AI Experiences group is looking to hire a Research Intern to collaborate and work on a project related to how we can understand and leverage the latest developments in AI to augment the ways people think, understand and communicate information, while championing people's agency and dignity.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
