About us, we are accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.
We help customers in two ways: working with leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems solving mission-critical priorities.
Role Overview
We are recruiting skilled craftsmen for a research project using wearable cameras to improve AI understanding of manual labor.
Craftsmen will record their woodworking, building, or fabrication routines as part of this short-term paid project.
Responsibilities
* Wear a head-mounted camera to capture daily activities for 5 separate days within a 2-week window.
* Record a minimum of 7 hours per day, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy.
* At the end of each day, spend around 2 hours to:
* Upload your footage to a secure platform.
* Review short clips.
* Choose to delete, anonymize, or consent to each video segment.
Requirements
* No children (under 18) present or visiting during the recording period.
* All adults in the space must be fluent English speakers and consent to being recorded.
* Must live in a private, self-contained apartment, building, or indoor work environment.
* All household members must agree to appear in the footage.
Participant Profile
* Must work indoors in non-customer-facing roles (e.g., not retail or child care).
* Participants who share the same workplace or household should both have a camera mounted during the activity.
* Preferably engaged in manual or creative work (e.g., chef, baker, artist, musician, electrician, mechanic).
* Must be self-employed or have employer consent to record in the work environment.
* Able to use a computer for basic tasks such as reviewing and uploading video clips.
Technical Requirements
* Must have access to a computer and internet connection.
* Comfortable using web-based tools for uploading and reviewing clips (training will be provided).
* Camera and all accessories will be provided for the duration of the project.
The perks of participating include playing a vital role in shaping the future of human-centered AI research, flexible engagement with minimal disruption to your routine, all equipment provided by us, and being part of an innovative global data collection initiative.
We offer a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI research while maintaining your independence and autonomy.
Your participation will help us better understand the nuances of manual labor and improve AI systems for the benefit of society.
