Working with an AI Company That Does Things You Disagree With [D]
Mirrored from r/MachineLearning for archival readability. Support the source by reading on the original site.
I'm a PhD student in machine learning in the EU and was looking for internships at exciting companies.
I shortlisted few and applied by reaching out to people and now reading project descriptions sent by the recruiters.
I don't want to name the company but their marketing and product team does all kinds of 'using people insecurities' to sell the product - which I don't agree with. And their product is also meh (I will never buy and would judge someone if they do) but their research team is doing good work.
How do you see this? Will you actually work in a team whose ideology/product doesn't necessarily align with your ethics/ideology. Should I just go ahead because work is exciting and I will get good supervision?
And, if you have some exciting work in your company/org and need interns (un-paid) for 3-4 months. I'm open.
