Why Outlier AI?

Outlier AI is a specialized freelance platform that connects subject matter experts with leading AI companies to train and improve next-generation artificial intelligence models. Powered by Scale AI, this innovative platform has paid over $100 million to 99,500+ experts across 18+ countries who contribute their specialized knowledge to advance AI development.

Unlike traditional freelancing platforms, Outlier focuses on high-value AI training tasks requiring domain expertise, from language specialists and coding experts to researchers with specialized knowledge. The platform offers three main task types: rating and ranking AI responses, creating prompts to guide AI models, and multi-modal tasks involving images, audio, and video content.

What sets Outlier apart is complete schedule flexibility - contributors work as independent contractors with no minimum or maximum hour requirements, making it ideal for professionals seeking additional income or location independence. The 30-90 minute onboarding includes profile creation, expertise selection, skill screenings, and identity verification.

Payments are processed weekly every Tuesday, with rates varying by task difficulty, demand, location, and expertise level. Contributors report earning hundreds to thousands monthly, with some earning over $1,500 weekly.

Minimum qualifications typically require undergraduate-level expertise, while preferred candidates include graduate students, master's holders, or PhD candidates with strong English communication skills.
