AI Labs Intern Research Scientist Location US-CA-San Francisco Department Engineering - Engineering Uber Overview About Uber Were changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now were a part of the logistical fabric of more than 600 cities around the world. Whether its a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it. For the people who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money. For cities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer. And thats just what were doing today. Were thinking about the future, too. With teams working on autonomous trucking and self-driving cars, were in for the long haul. Were reimagining how people and things move from one place to the next. #AI-Labs-jobs Job Description Interns at Uber AI Labs work with research scientists to create the next generation of artificial intelligence algorithms to help Uber improve the lives of millions of people worldwide.
