The pursuit of AI education - past, present, and future

Meet Sylvia Christie, our education partnerships manager who's played a leading role in expanding our scholarship programme, which has just celebrated its five-year anniversary. Before DeepMind, I worked for a social purpose startup that increased access to mental healthcare. Then I got a job at a university alongside academics and students. At that point, I realised I was looking for a'Goldilocks' role that brought together everything I loved about these different environments – the speed and excitement of a tech startup, impact-focussed goals, and the fascination of working with brilliant researchers. It seemed impossible to combine all these things.
