About this job

AI Makerspace is looking for a hands-on, self-starting Intern to join our team!

We’re a small but ambitious R&D lab within the university working on cutting-edge projects in AI and links with other domains. We need someone like you to work on some of our projects, while being linked with the Lab.

This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with advanced equipment like autonomous vehicles, robotic arms, and computer vision systems, while also contributing to developing groundbreaking solutions with our research projects. This is a relatively flexible opportunity which can be co-shaped with the student and can be a thesis assignment.

About the HEIMDALL project

The exponential growth of online services has led to an overwhelming proliferation of privacy policies that users are expected to read and understand before granting consent for data processing.

Research indicates that 67% of Americans understand little to nothing about what companies do with their personal data, while 56% skip reading privacy policies altogether. This consent fatigue creates a significant gap between formal compliance and actual user comprehension, potentially enabling abusive or unfair data processing practices to go unnoticed.

This project proposes Heimdall, an innovative AI-powered system for automated analysis and evaluation of online service privacy policies. Unlike existing solutions that focus primarily on summarization or basic compliance checking. Heimdall will provide comprehensive, multi-dimensional analysis including GDPR compliance assessment, risk scoring, transparency evaluation, and comparative benchmarking across services.
