the work

What the work is

Entry-level AI training jobs hand paid work to beginners (rating chatbot answers, labeling data, transcribing audio or recording their voice) and ask for no AI experience. Across the 52 live jobs on this page that list pay, most pay $10–65/hr, and the median is $65/hr. You receive written guidelines plus a short test before any paid work starts, and these roles pay below expert rates.

Words you will see on this page

  • AI trainer (someone paid to write, check or rate the examples AI models learn from)
  • Data annotation (labelling data (text, images, audio) so AI can learn from it)
  • Rater (someone who scores AI or search results against written guidelines)
  • Legit Score (our 0–100 rating of how safe a platform is to work for, based on published inputs)

faq

Real questions, short answers

Can I be an AI trainer with no experience?

Yes. Plenty of roles skip AI experience entirely, asking only for careful reading, good writing and a pass on the platform's test. A few platforms still set a floor: Outlier, for instance, requires every worker to hold at least an associate degree.

What does 'no experience' really mean?

It means you need no past AI or annotation work on your record. The platform's assessment still decides who gets in, and many roles accept workers only from certain countries or languages.

What is the easiest AI training job to get?

Tasks with no application step are the quickest way in. Mindrift's all-access tasks carry no education, experience or skill requirements, and Prolific's studies need only an approved account, though Prolific places most new sign-ups on a waitlist.

How much do entry-level AI training jobs pay?

Across the 52 live jobs on this page that list pay, most pay $10–65/hr, and the median is $65/hr. Prolific makes researchers pay no less than £6 or $8 an hour on every study.

How do I get an AI training job?

Choose two or three platforms that accept workers in your country, apply on each one's own website and treat every assessment like an exam. Go through the guidelines twice before you start.
