Visualyst is a newly established company in the Mediatech, Compliance space. Do you ever wonder why it takes movies and TV shows a long time to reach their audiences? One of the reasons is an outdated compliance process used today on the industry to check against local laws, regulations, and policies of the target market. We aim to modernize how broadcasters and streaming services work using machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly playing a central role in modern society. Whether we realize it or not, more and more algorithms are processing, assessing and classifying what we create and steering how we behave online. Central in our product will be automation through algorithms that mimic human behavior. We need to make sure their behavior is ethical, moral and free of bias in nature.

We are looking for someone to help organize and champion this endeavor at Visualyst. This is a new role for us, and for the industry in general. To be honest, we are not sure what the position should look like over time, but we know we need to start looking into these topics. We are looking for a passionately engaged intern to help us wrap our common heads around them.

Objectives of the role:

Research and report on industry best practices. There is a lot of good literature out there on the subject of ethics and AI. You will need to read it, digest it and be ready to explain it to key team members as applicable to their field.

Deliver a principles-driven, adaptive policy framework to assess, organize, measure, and clarify these topics.

Champion and facilitate the adoption of the framework to enable confident innovation with machine learning and algorithmic decision making across all areas of our business.

Responsible for identifying and following trends in the industry, academia, and relevant legislature.

Our ideal candidate:

Is a graduate student (or has a degree) in psychology, anthropology, or a computer science discipline with a specialization in or keen interest in Ethics.

Has a basic understanding (or is eager to learn) Artificial Intelligence and video technology

Is used to working remotely in a start-up environment where decisions and priorities are fluid.

This position is initially a 2-4 month internship but may well develop into a part-time or full-time position.
