Find paid opportunities to help train and evaluate AI

Advanced AI systems need more than large volumes of generic data. They need input from people who understand the disciplines, tools, workflows, and real-world decisions these systems are expected to handle.

Snorkel’s Expert Community brings together professionals and academics across more than 1,000 domains to contribute to frontier AI projects. Depending on the project, contributors may help create specialized datasets, evaluate model outputs, design realistic tasks, test AI agents, identify failure modes, or develop the environments used to train and evaluate advanced systems.

When a project matches your expertise, Snorkel may invite you to participate. You decide which opportunities to accept and contribute on your own time.
