We’re on the lookout for smart, savvy, and curious Generative AI Specialist to join our global contributor community as part of our Subject Matter Expert (SME) on Demand program. This is not a traditional full-time role. It’s a part-time, remote, flexible, project-specific opportunity designed for those who want to make a real impact—on their schedule.

Examples: identify clickbait; identifying gaming videos; identifying branded content. - Ordering or ranking items based on a set of preferences or criteria. - Creating prompts or questions that will be used to generate responses from a language model or other AI system. - Projects that evaluate the relevance of content based on a relevancy scale (1-3, 1-5, etc.). - Generating responses to prompts or questions using a language model or other AI system. - Rewriting existing text while preserving the original meaning, often to improve clarity or style and adherence to guidelines. - Producing concise summaries of longer pieces of text or data. - Converting spoken language or audio content into written text. - Converting text or spoken language from one language to another. - Gathering and compiling various forms of data to be used for training, evaluating, or fine-tuning the AI models.
