Prolific for AI trainers

Prolific has 88 open jobs on this site. The median pay is $30/hr, and most jobs pay $20–120/hr. Each job page shows its own rate.

Researchers set the pay for each study. Prolific's minimum is £6 or $8 an hour, and it recommends £9 or $12. When a researcher approves your work, the reward goes to your Prolific balance. Researchers have up to 21 days to review, and work that is not reviewed by then is approved automatically. You can cash out to PayPal when you have at least £6 or $6, once every 24 hours. Your first 4 cash-outs can take up to 72 hours. Prolific charges no fee, but PayPal can charge to convert currency. You pay your own taxes.

1. Apply to an AI training job on Prolific's job board. Each role is posted once per city, and the text is the same in each post. 2. Take a short skills test, often 10 to 15 minutes. Some expert roles also check your LinkedIn profile or your professional license. 3. If you pass, Prolific invites you to make a participant account. Verify your email, phone, and ID, and add a PayPal account with the same name. 4. AI training studies then show in your study list. Be ready for tasks that need up to one hour of work with no breaks.

The AI training jobs are a way into the normal participant account. If you pass the skills test, Prolific invites you to join as a participant or a Domain Expert. AI tasks then show as studies, next to regular research studies, and each one pays a fixed reward. Prolific also invites some top participants to a 2-part AI Tasker test, which unlocks better-paid AI studies. You are self-employed, not an employee of Prolific.

AI trainers help companies improve AI models. You review and rate model answers, write example answers, find mistakes, or record voice and video data. Experts in law, medicine, coding, languages, and other fields teach models how a professional thinks. Most of this work is remote, flexible, and paid by the hour.

Yes. Every job on this site is remote, and most have flexible hours. Some jobs accept people from certain countries only, so check the 🌍 location on each job before you apply.

It depends on the job. Generalist jobs need clear writing and attention to detail. Expert jobs usually ask for a degree or work experience in the field, such as a law license or medical training. Language jobs need native or fluent skill in that language. Coding jobs need real programming experience.
