• Provide structured feedback and help resolve repeated quality issues.
• Maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, onboarding materials, calibration tasks, and examples.
• Support activation and follow-up for contributors who are inactive or inconsistent.

About AI training work

AI training uses human-reviewed examples to improve how artificial intelligence understands and produces information. Anthropology experts are paid for this work because accurate cultural context, ethical judgment, and strong research standards are difficult for automated systems to assess on their own.
