SnapshotWe are looking for Research Scientists to join the Autonomous Assistants team, and produce research in the development of next-generation technologies to power increasingly autonomous agents which strive to assist, support, and supplement humans in their daily personal and professional lives.
About UsArtificial Intelligence could be one of humanity's most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we're a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.
The roleWithin the team, Research Scientists are encouraged to lead/support an application-grounded research agenda aimed at producing practically applicable technological advances in the ability of increasingly autonomous agents to assist and support humans.
The expectation is that while novel research can and will be conducted in this setting, there will be a strong focus on pragmatic prioritisation of methods and tools offering practical benefits in the short term, over the following of longer-horizon research agendas. Central to this process is the idea that rapid iteration over and refinement of solutions catering to real-world use- cases provides a strong basis for better understanding the research boundary in a fast paced field.
