AI training and data labeling jobs involve helping artificial intelligence systems learn by reviewing, annotating, and evaluating data such as text, images, audio, or code. In these roles, workers label information, assess the accuracy and quality of AI outputs, and provide structured feedback that improves how models reason and respond.
For individuals with Master’s or PhD degrees, this work often includes higher-level tasks like evaluating complex reasoning, applying subject-matter expertise, and refining training data to ensure accuracy, nuance, and reliability.
Note: While these roles can be a flexible way to work in AI training and data labeling, I strongly recommend continuing to do your own research before applying. Many platforms and companies have dedicated Reddit communities, such as those for Mercor and Handshake AI, where workers share firsthand experiences, pay details, and expectations that can help you make informed decisions.
