The mission of Meta FAIR's Brain and AI is to interface neuroscience and artificial intelligence, to both better understand how the brain functions in light of state-of-the-art AI models and to improve AI in light of neuroscientific principles. We explore, design, and build AI systems at scale to enable next-generation AI technologies.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
