Job Opportunity for Musicians
We are seeking musicians to participate in a groundbreaking research initiative. This project aims to understand complex, real-world activities through AI-powered models.
About the Project
The Common Lives Project is a unique collaboration between researchers and musicians. As part of this initiative, you will wear a head-mounted camera to capture your daily activities. The footage will be used to train future AI models that can comprehend intricate tasks.
Your Role
You will be responsible for wearing the camera for 5 separate days within a 2-week window. Each day, you will need to record a minimum of 7 hours of footage, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy. At the end of each day, you will spend around 2 hours uploading your footage, reviewing short clips, and choosing to delete, anonymize, or consent to each video segment.
