Interested? Please submit an application on the Google Careers website ("Student Researcher, 2026"): www.google.com/about/career...
and send me an email to piotrmirowski+sr2026 [at] google [dot] com. Please include "[SR 2026]" in the subject line and tell me how you think about AI for creativity.

You will be designing tools and evaluation methods to support writers in their creative process.

The role will tentatively start in March-April 2026 and will be based on site in London.

I will host a student researcher at Google DeepMind and am looking for PhD students interested in the intersection of creative writing and human-computer interaction.

Your work will contribute to moving beyond generative AI towards formative AI.

Google DeepMind is bringing AI to the next generation of fusion energy We’re announcing our research partnership with Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) to bring clean, safe, limitless fusion energy closer to reality with our advanced AI systems. This partnership...

Very excited to be able to talk about something I've been working on for a while now - we're working with Commonwealth Fusion Systems, IMO the leading fusion startup in the world, to take our work on AI and tokamaks and make it work at the frontier of fusion energy. deepmind.google/discover/blo...

So, are you into writing? Then register your interest for Fabula at: deepmind.google.com/frontiers/fa...

We are inviting further writers to try Fabula and see if it is useful for learning, structuring ideas, and supporting human creativity. On the video: playwright Natalia Korczakowska, Artistic Director of STUDIO teatrgaleria in Warsaw, discusses her creative process.

We ran many workshop studies with our prototype, sought critical feedback from diverse industry experts on subjects ranging from the writing process, narratology, screen production, and cultural localisation, who discussed their creative practice and commented on AI ethics and on the Fabula app.

We are a small team passionate about interactive fiction, theatre, theatrical improvisation and computational creativity, and have been developing Fabula using principles of participatory AI, taking critical feedback from the industry in and integrating it within our process.

Fabula is not a story generator – it is a tool to empower a writer as they go through the creative process of exploring their story, by giving them coherent AI-based suggestions that allow them to iterate on versions of their stories, characters and story arc.

Fabula is a co-creation tool that enables writers to quickly review, revise, and iterate on a story plan and script. We crafted detailed instructions to build a story's structure, based on classical narratology, and power the app using Google DeepMind’s latest version of Gemini.

We just published and presented our findings in a sociotechnical AI research paper at Human Factors in Computing (CHI 2025): “AI and Non-Western Art Worlds: Reimagining Critical AI Futures through Artistic Inquiry and Situated Dialogue", jointly authored by Rida Qadri, Remi Denton and yours truly.

Using the Persian Gulf as a case, we worked with 3 visual artists and 3 experts from cultural institutions, engaging in a longitudinal study and dialogue, moving away from “datasets” to curated archives, and showcasing how local art communities can redesign AI to be more culturally-relevant.

AI and Non-Western Art Worlds: Reimagining Critical AI Futures through Artistic Inquiry and Situated Dialogue | Proceedings of the 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Generative AI tools used in art production should be evaluated by the broader art world of artists, art historians and curators, to integrate culturally-specific critique and to re-imagine these tools to suit the artists’ needs.
