10-Question Survey for AI Trainers

About OpenTrain

About AI Training Work

AI training (data labeling, annotation, or human feedback) is the human side of creating intelligent systems: people prepare, review, and rate examples that teach models how to respond. Many contributors work part-time, remotely, and without prior experience beyond relevant domain familiarity.

The Role

This project asks experienced AI trainers to answer ten short, open-ended text questions about their work. Your responses will be used as text-generation contributions to help research and understand the workforce behind AI systems.

• Are you satisfied with your pay?
• How secure is your job? (Job security)
• Do you work at home or at a facility? Which would you prefer?
• What are some of the worst things about training AI that no one talks about?
