About the job
Our special interdisciplinary team combines the best techniques from deep learning and reinforcement learning to build general-purpose learning algorithms and apply these to medicine and healthcare. We have already made a number of high profile breakthroughs towards building artificial general intelligence for medicine, and we have all the ingredients in place to make further significant progress over the coming years to real world impact.
In this role, you will accelerate the development and clinical deployment of our frontier multimodal AI medical assistant and co-clinician systems. You will drive forward research toward a safe, medically licensed agentic system for triadic care, deployed to doctors and health systems globally (spanning key collaborations with world-leading researchers and clinicians in the US, EMEA and APAC).
Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.
