Overview

Outlier is a platform owned and operated by Scale AI and believes AI can only perform as well as the data it’s trained on. That’s why we work with contributors from all over the world, who help improve AI models by providing expert human feedback. This data has led to AI advancements for the world's leading AI labs and large language model builders.

We’ve built a best-in-class remote work platform for our freelance contributors to provide valuable, specialized skills, and we in turn strive to provide them with a positive experience based on our core pillars of reliability, transparency, and flexibility.

Great for PhDs to earn extra income

I joined Outlier a few month ago and have been active there in the last two months. It is a great place for a side job, and it is possible to earn upward of 1500$ per week if you are assigned to good projects. I especially recommend it to PhD students and graduates who are looking for some extra income.

What I like most about Outlier.ai? I can work whenever I want, late in the evening or early in the morning. When a project is done I automatically receive other projects when available. Also if you show high quality you can move up the ladder from contributor, reviewer, quality control too.... Quality is appreciated and you can earn bonuses regularly depending on the project you are in.
