Music professionals apply their instrumental performance, composition, or music production expertise to evaluate and annotate AI-generated musical content, delivering detailed feedback that helps models better understand music across styles, traditions, and cultures.
Key Responsibilities- Use hands-on experience in performance, composition, or production to assess AI-generated audio, scores, and musical prompts for accuracy and musicality.
- Create expert-level training data, annotations, and corrections based on professional practice and genre knowledge.
- Provide clear, constructive feedback on AI responses, noting errors, stylistic issues, cultural context, and relevant performance technique considerations.
- Apply familiar workflow tools and software when relevant to produce examples or reproduce issues, drawing on your day-to-day production or performance toolset.
- Work independently in an asynchronous, remote environment while maintaining attention to detail and consistent written communication.
- Master''s degree or higher required, Doctor of Musical Arts strongly preferred.
- Professional background in composition, jazz performance, guitar performance, commercial music, or instrumental performance such as saxophone or trumpet.
- Performance-focused credentials preferred over purely musicology or ethnomusicology backgrounds.
- Practical experience with DAWs such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, or Ableton is a plus, but not required.
- Excellent written communication skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage work independently in a remote, asynchronous setting.
- Remote, part-time, hourly contract work, intended to be flexible and compatible with other commitments.
- No minimum hour requirement; most contributors complete approximately 5 to 20 hours per week when participating in an active project.
- Placement on specific projects depends on current project needs, with the possibility of consideration for future projects as they become available.
- Up to $100/hr (depending on the project).
- F-1 students may be eligible if they have appropriate CPT or OPT authorization, subject to approval by their Designated School Official. If your school requires enrollment in a CPT course, this type of project may not meet that requirement.
- STEM OPT is not supported for this work.
- Create a contributor account with the program and complete required identity verification.
- Apply or opt in to relevant projects and complete any project-specific onboarding tasks.
- Begin assignments once approved, submit evaluations and annotations as directed, and receive compensation for completed work.
