Element AI
The research scientists are working under the leadership of the Chief Science Officer to promote the role of fundamental research to advance AI, and ensure that Element AI has access and contributes to the best science.
Element AI wants to carry out fundamental research that advances the state-of-the-art in AI, unfettered by short-term product or client deliverables.
Researchers have the responsibility to set their own research agendas and are expected to collaborate with their colleagues and the global AI community.
