About the role
Are you a politics expert or government professional eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are evolving from simple conversational tools into systems capable of analyzing policy, interpreting legislation, and supporting civic education. With high-quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can help democratize access to political knowledge, strengthen public understanding of governance, and support informed decision-making. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.
We’re looking for political science specialists and professionals with real-world experience in local, state, national, or international government. This includes backgrounds in public policy, legislative affairs, public administration, political campaigns, regulatory analysis, international relations, and civic institutions. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics such as constitutional frameworks, policy trade-offs, electoral systems, legislative procedure, political theory, comparative government, public budgeting, ethics in governance, and the practical realities of policymaking—documenting failure modes so we can strengthen model reasoning and neutrality.
On a typical day, you will engage the model with policy scenarios, governance questions, and political analysis tasks; verify factual accuracy and institutional correctness; assess logical consistency and bias risks; capture reproducible error traces; and provide structured feedback to improve prompts, evaluation standards, and analytical depth. You may also help identify where models oversimplify political processes or misinterpret procedural rules.
A degree in political science, public policy, public administration, international relations, or a related field is preferred. Experience working in government offices, legislative bodies, advocacy organizations, regulatory agencies, campaigns, or civic institutions is highly valued. Clear, metacognitive communication—explicitly articulating reasoning and decision processes (“showing your work”)—is essential, particularly when analyzing complex or sensitive topics.
Ready to turn your political expertise into the knowledge foundation for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and help train systems that support civic understanding and responsible public discourse.
We offer a pay range of $6 to $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high-speed internet; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
