Digitize! News from the team
Seliem El-Sayed will be interning at the Ethics and Society Team at DeepMind in London over the course of the summer. DeepMind, an Alphabet subsidiary, is a research laboratory producing some of the most ground-breaking research in Artificial Intelligence. Researchers at DeepMind have published thousands of papers in journals including Nature and Science. Recently, for instance, they have been able to achieve significant progress in contributing to solving the protein-folding problem.
We wish Seliem all the best for his time in London and are looking forward to his return in fall.
