AI Interaction Designer, Worlds

Snapshot

We welcome applications from designers with a passion for exploring the possibilities of AI.  This role requires a problem solver, a creative thinker, a willingness to experiment, and an ability to understand and interpret model behavior. A background in game design and / or UX design is important as you will be applying those principles to the crafting and development of novel AI-driven experiences.

About Us

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

The Worlds team utilises game methodologies paired with simulation and rendering technologies to advance Google DeepMind’s mission to build AI responsibility to benefit humanity. We work closely with researchers, applying our expertise to explore foundational model capabilities, accelerate cutting-edge embodied agent research and help prove out the future of interactive experiences.

Team members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including the games industry and beyond, and we leverage the team’s multi-disciplinary combination of artists, designers, engineers, researchers and QA specialists to advance the state of the art in many fields.

The Role

You’ll work with individuals in the Worlds team and research teams to develop new experiences and iterate on existing ones, with a focus on integrating generative AI. You will engage in rapid prototyping and creative ideation. You’ll join a diverse, close-knit team of talented and supportive individuals who openly share ideas with one another.

Key responsibilities:

• Rapid Prototyping: Quickly create and iterate on prototypes of experiences using generative AI systems.
• Collaboration: Work closely with a cross-functional team of researchers, engineers, and designers to achieve project goals.
• Creative Ideation: Contributing to creative brainstorming sessions and generating novel ideas for environments and generative AI applications.
• Prompt Engineering and Design: Develop and refine effective prompts for generative AI models, optimizing for desired outputs and exploring novel prompt engineering techniques.
• Model Behavior Analysis: Analyze and interpret the behavior of generative AI models, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
