AI firms hire actors for training roles
Improv performers can earn up to $74 an hour remotely.
An AI recruitment platform is offering actors up to $74 an hour to perform improvised scenes for training purposes. The roles involve responding to prompts and acting out scenarios in recorded interactions.
The project, linked to a leading AI company, reflects the growing demand for human-generated data to improve AI systems. Performers are expected to bring natural dialogue and creative expression to the recordings.
AI firms increasingly rely on workers outside the technology sector, including artists and students, to refine models. Tasks can range from storytelling to role-play, designed to simulate real-world conversations.
Analysts say the trend highlights how creative industries are becoming intertwined with AI development. Concerns remain about job conditions as many roles are offered as freelance work without traditional benefits.
