About AI training and this project

AI systems learn from high-quality human-collected examples — including first-person video that shows how people perform everyday tasks. Your recordings will be used to teach and validate models that understand household actions and physical movement.

Work in AI training is flexible and accessible: many projects need careful attention to detail more than prior experience. This project focuses on structured video collection, following technical protocols so data is consistent and usable for research and product teams.

You will capture first-person smartphone video of household and physical tasks from your home. This is a remote, contract, part-time position managed by OpenTrain AI.

The role requires following detailed recording instructions, delivering consistent footage, and completing tasks safely and on time.
