Opportunity Expired
This internship is with Sunflower AI and is facilitated by the CSIRO’s Generation STEM Links program.
This internship at Sunflower AI provides a unique opportunity to work with a cutting-edge AI company dedicated to enhancing event accessibility. As an intern at a small start-up, you will be an integral part of their development team, contributing to the evolution of live event captioning solutions. You will be directly involved in helping deliver a backend API for live captioning, a chat interface that can answer users questions based on event transcripts and processing event transcripts using language models for automated summarisation and formatting.
Sunflower AI is dedicated to ensuring every event fosters meaningful connections, transcending linguistic and hearing barriers and as an intern you will get to see this impact of this as a direct result of your work. This role is ideal for a self-motivated individual eager to learn and grow with a passion for helping individuals with hearing impairments or those who speak English as a second language
Sunflower AI emerged to address the persistent inaccuracy in YouTube subtitles, a problem that required manual correction, taking up to 30 minutes for a 15-minute clip. Inspired by the vibrant sunflower, a symbol of happiness and warmth, Sunflower AI envisions making information accessible to all, creating a seamless and uplifting experience.
Initially focused on improving YouTube captions, Sunflower AI recognized a broader need for accessible event experiences. This insight led to our evolution into a B2B live event captioning solution. We successfully executed our inaugural live event and are now committed to enhancing accessibility at conferences, starting with Sydney-based events. We are also exploring a mobile application to provide live captions and real-time translation.
