About AI Training and Data Collection

AI training is the human work behind modern artificial intelligence. Contributors provide and organize examples, such as images and other structured data, so AI systems can learn to recognize patterns and produce more useful results.

This project collects facial images and related metadata for work involving facial recognition and age estimation. It is a short, practical way to contribute to a fast-growing technology field from home.

• Remote work using a smartphone and internet connection
• Flexible project-based work that can fit around other commitments
• No previous data-labeling experience needed
• Careful attention to instructions and data organization is essential

The Role

You will collect a small photo dataset for AI training. The task requires using an NFC-reader app on an Android or iPhone to extract the chip-stored image from your passport or national electronic ID, then uploading the required selfies and older digital photos.

You must complete the entire upload workflow in one sitting, which should take approximately one hour. The fixed payment is $5 for a complete and accurate submission that meets the project requirements.

• Work remotely in one sitting of approximately one hour
• Complete the full upload workflow by the stated deadline
• Organize every file in the correct folder
• Provide the required CSV or JSON metadata sheet
• Submit all images and metadata accurately for approval

What You Will Provide

The dataset must contain each required image and the corresponding information requested in the instructions. Historical photos must show earlier life stages, and you must be able to estimate your age or the year each historical photo was taken.

• One biometric chip image extracted directly from an NFC-enabled government ID; screenshots or photos of the ID image are not accepted
• Three fresh, full-face selfies with a neutral expression and a mix of indoor and outdoor lighting
• Two profile-style photos taken within the last 10 years
• Three historical digital photos from earlier life stages, with each photo at least two to three years apart
• Historical photos must represent an age of 12 or older
• Estimated age or year taken for each historical photo
• CSV or JSON metadata including age or year taken, lighting, and pose
