About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors prepare and review examples that help models recognize visual information, interpret context, and produce more useful results.

This work is remote and can offer flexible part-time opportunities. Your careful analysis can directly influence how cutting-edge multimodal AI systems understand scenes, motion, and context.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is looking for an Image and Video Annotation Specialist to analyze static images and short video clips for multimodal AI training. You will capture subjects, environments, actions, emotions, relationships, and storytelling flow through structured annotations.

The role combines visual judgment, detailed labeling, and evaluation of AI-generated outputs. You will help create datasets that improve AI understanding of both still and dynamic visual content.

• Employment type: Part-time contractor
• Experience level: Entry level
• Time commitment: 20+ hours per week
• Location: Worldwide and remote
• Working language: English

What You'll Do

You will review visual content carefully, apply annotation guidelines consistently, and validate outputs against established quality standards. As benchmarks evolve, you will coordinate with project leads and adapt your work to updated requirements.

• Analyze short videos and images to identify subjects, settings, actions, and emotions.
• Describe temporal sequences, scene transitions, and interactions accurately.
• Label visual cues such as mood, lighting, and spatial relationships.
• Apply nuanced annotation guidelines to protect dataset quality.
• Evaluate AI-generated outputs for correctness, structure, and relevance.
• Contribute structured datasets that improve understanding of static and dynamic visual information.
• Coordinate with project leads as annotation standards and quality benchmarks change.

Requirements

This is an entry-level opportunity. Previous image or video annotation experience is helpful but not required. Success depends on strong comprehension, careful visual interpretation, and the ability to follow detailed instructions consistently.

• Strong English reading, writing, and communication skills.
• Ability to interpret subjects, settings, actions, emotions, and spatial relationships.
• Ability to analyze temporal sequences, scene transitions, and video interactions.
• Careful attention to detail and comfort following nuanced guidelines.
• Analytical judgment when interpreting context, intent, and script meaning.
• Ability to evaluate AI-generated outputs for correctness, structure, and relevance.
• Comfort using basic computer tools, file uploads, and audio-related file formats.
• Reliable desktop or laptop and stable internet connection.
• Self-motivation and ability to work independently in a remote setting.

Who Should Apply

Apply if you enjoy examining visual details, understanding what is happening in a scene, and turning observations into clear structured data. The role may suit people developing experience in AI training, annotation, visual analysis, or remote contract work.

Strong collaboration and communication skills are important because annotation standards and quality benchmarks may evolve during a project.
