About Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.

Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.

The role

We're looking for CompSci experts to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. For this project we are seeking PhD holders who are comfortable narrating their approach to solving complex problems. 

If you have the necessary experience, we'll send you a quick test to assess your skills and suitability for AI tasks. If successful, you'll be invited to join Prolific as a Domain Expert where you'll get paid to train and evaluate powerful AI models.

Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $150/hr per AI task completed. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.

What you’ll bring

• A PhD (or PhD candidacy) in Computer Science or a related discipline 
• Strong subject matter expertise and ability to work through complex, technical problems
• Experience with or a strong interest in AI and machine learning is a bonus
• Willingness to narrate your thinking out loud
• Strong attention to detail 
• Reliable, fast internet connection and access to a computer
• A PayPal account to receive payments from our clients

What you’ll be doing in the role

• Working through complex problems and tasks while narrating your reasoning process out loud
• Screen-recording your approach to problems and tasks
• Reviewing and evaluating AI-generated responses to technical problems, rating them for accuracy, depth, and reasoning quality
• Comparing multiple model answers and selecting/justifying the best response
• Writing improved exemplars, rationales, or structured feedback when models fall short 

Why Prolific is a great platform to join as a Participant

Joining our platform as a Prolific participant will give you the chance to influence the AI models of the future using your professional expertise. Once you pass our assessment, you can join Prolific in just 15 minutes, and start enjoying competitive pay rates, flexible hours, and the ability to work from home.

We've built a unique platform that connects researchers and companies with a global pool of participants, enabling the collection of high-quality, ethically sourced human behavioural data and feedback. This data is the cornerstone of developing more accurate, nuanced, and aligned AI systems.

We believe that the next leap in AI capabilities won't come solely from scaling existing models, but from integrating diverse human perspectives and behaviours into AI development. By providing this crucial human data infrastructure, Prolific is positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of AI innovation – one that reflects the breadth and the best of humanity.
