Job Description: Artificial Intelligence Internship
This is a paid, flexible internship offering hands-on experience in developing and deploying real AI features for a health tech startup. It’s not a passive observational role; interns will actively contribute to the company’s projects. The internship focuses on using AI to support vulnerable populations and improve caregiving.
Key Responsibilities:
• AI Product Development: Assist in building and testing AI-driven tools for caregiving support. This includes features like symptom tracking, speech-to-text journaling, and personalized memory prompts for dementia care.
• Prompt Engineering & Fine-Tuning: Design and evaluate prompts for large language models (LLMs) to enhance caregiving conversations, recommendations, and emotional engagement.
• Ethical and Human-Centered Design: Integrate responsible AI principles into product workflows, particularly when designing tools for elders, students, and families.
• Data Annotation and Insight Generation: Label, clean, and interpret qualitative data (from conversations, care logs, or videos) to support supervised learning or algorithm refinement.
• Collaboration & Brainstorming: Work with engineers, clinical experts, and designers to co-develop scalable, empathetic features based on real-world caregiving needs.
Ideal Candidate Qualifications:
• Students in Computer Science, Data Science, Cognitive Science, Biomedical Engineering, or related fields.
• Prior experience with Python, OpenAI APIs, HuggingFace, or other AI/ML frameworks is a plus but not required.
• Strong interest in human-centered AI applications, especially in healthcare, education, accessibility, or aging.
• Ability to work independently and creatively to apply technology at scale.
• Bonus: Passion for ethical AI, elder care, or social impact technology.
Benefits:
• Hands-on experience building AI products that are actually launched.
• Portfolio projects to showcase to future employers or graduate schools.
• Paid, flexible work from anywhere.
• Mentorship from engineers, health experts, and AI researchers.
• Opportunity to contribute to the future of compassionate AI.
