Gaining Practical Experience

“My internship gave me the opportunity to build trustworthy systems that ensured artificial intelligence (AI) generated answers are grounded in fact, not fiction. I’ve explored how AI can learn from different formats—like text, images and audio—and how that can be leveraged to create more reliable and flexible knowledge systems.”

Eric Toal
