Profession
AI Researcher
A pioneer at the frontiers of artificial intelligence.
You push the boundaries of what artificial intelligence can do. Day to day you study existing methods, form hypotheses, design and run experiments, and develop new algorithms or model architectures. Much of the work is reading papers, writing code to test ideas, analyzing results, and writing up findings to share with the research community. You often work at a university, a research lab, or a company's advanced research team, collaborating with other scientists and engineers on problems that may take months or years to crack.
