To correct the wrong answers generated by UI, they employ students
In the United States, more and more students are employed by companies, where they review and correct the answers generated by artificial intelligence (UI). Outlier is one of the platforms where they are engaged in coaching and refining artificial intelligence (UI).
Employees of such companies perform a variety of tasks from the evaluation of UI answers, choosing better answers to the transcription of bad ones. His work involves verifying that the answers are true, well written and do not sound robotic. If the answers offered are bad, they are re -written.
87 percent of workers with university education
The Outlier platform operated by SCALE AI has been launched in 2023. It allows employees to perform paid tasks for training generative UI models used by companies such as Google, Meta and Openaiwrites Forbes.
The diversity of tasks performed by workers also involves verifying that UI models do not generate inappropriate content such as violence or sexual abuseand translating texts from different dialects. Scale is increasingly relying on highly educated workers, with 87 percent of Outlier workers with Outlier University Education, 48 percent of whom have a first -cycle diploma, 27 percent of the master's degree and 12 percent doctorate, reports Forbes.
Payment for work is different and depends on the qualifications of the worker, geographical location and customer demand. Some workers work up to 20 hours a week and earn about $ 25 to $ 30 per hour. One of the main advantages of working on the Outlier platform is the ability to work remotely, which allows workers to have more flexibility.
Bad working conditions and theft of wages
In recent months, Scale AI has faced several lawsuits filed by contract workers Outlier. The lawsuits focus on poor working conditions, lack of support for mental health and wage theft. One of the lawsuits states that workers are exposed to severe psychological stress Due to the processing of disturbing content such as violence and sexual abuse, without adequate mental health supportreported Forbes. Another lawsuit claims that Scale pays workers under a minimum wage and incorrectly classifies them as contractors instead of employees, giving them the rights to benefits and overtime.
The company responded to these allegations by improving the payment system and greater transparency. Scale AI rejects charges of time constraints and payments, and claims to provide workers in advance to assess how long the task should last, and clearly determine the payment before the work begins. Nevertheless, many employees claim that the timing for tasks is incorrectly rated, and salaries are only a percentage of promised.
