- Pay rates for AI work range from $21.16 to $45.50 per hour.
Leveraging AI training platforms has transformed a freelancer's income, significantly supplementing earnings from an e-commerce store and a family go-karting business. This new income stream proved substantial enough to fund a trip to the Paris Olympics last August, along with travel to three other countries. The work offers competitive pay, ranging from $21.16 to $45.50 per hour.
Initially a law domain expert, the freelancer now engages in diverse, non-STEM AI training tasks. These involve multimedia prompt engineering, AI response evaluation, and quality assurance. Platforms like Remotasks, Outlier, and Mercor AI have been central to this endeavor, providing regular work and weekly payments, which has allowed the freelancer to prioritize AI work over other ventures.
While the AI industry offers valuable skills and attractive pay, it comes with inherent job insecurity and the potential for monotonous tasks. Despite these challenges, the opportunity for project extensions and referrals from project leads provides a degree of stability. The collaborative environment with skilled colleagues is also a noted positive aspect of this work.
