You will lead a research project from start to finish, including: - Defining a research question about proactive, always-available AI - Building or extending a functional prototype using real-world wearable and contextual data - Designing and running user studies with the prototype - Turning findings into actionable design guidance and evaluation metrics for research and engineering teams Our internships are 12 to 24 weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. Some projects may require a minimum of 24 consecutive weeks.
