Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
There is a business project that you work on with other interns and do a presentation at the end. There is a placement with a team, I worked in DS&I where I was doing research for a review paper and calibrating a large language model. The main thing to get out of the internship in my opinion, is to talk to as many different people as possible to gauge what you want to do.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibility to review papers for the DS&I academic review paper, which felt good. I am not sure if my recommendations are going to be acted on, but it felt good to be given that task
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
