AI in service of the mission
Artificial intelligence team
A volunteer role in the artificial intelligence team: you report to the Head of AI Strategy. A confidentiality commitment, signed when you join, governs your access to personal data.
Assignments
- Improve AKILI, the companion for curious minds on the site: search across the site’s corpus, answers that cite YouthShare documents, the language of each question
- Develop AKILI for the recruitment team: application summaries and comparison with the role description, with every decision made by a person
- Integrate the Claude API into the Worker: model choice for each task, prompt caching, cost tracking
- Redact personal data before any call to a model, and check that redaction with tests
- Build evaluation sets with the Prompt and AI Evaluation Specialist: accuracy, sources, tone, language
- Apply the safeguards of the AI use charter with the AI Ethics and Governance Lead
- Keep AKILI’s impact assessment and its classification under the EU AI Act up to date, with the Data Protection Coordinator and the AI Ethics and Governance Lead
- Monitor AKILI in service (logs, answer quality, incidents) and document every change
- Share the work with the Claude Specialist, who writes internal skills, and the AI Process Automation Specialist: you look after AKILI and the Claude API on the site
Tools to master
- Claude API: models, prompt caching, tools
- Cloudflare Workers, D1 and R2: AKILI’s service and corpus
