Job Description & Key Responsibilities
Micro1.ai is an emerging AI‑focused data platform that partners with global technology firms to build high‑quality training datasets for computer‑vision, speech, and natural‑language models. Founded by a team of data scientists and engineers, the company operates a fully remote workforce, leveraging talent from across India and beyond. Its mission is to democratise AI by ensuring that training data reflects the diversity of real‑world users, and it has quickly become a trusted vendor for several Fortune‑500 AI product teams. The culture at Micro1.ai is built around flexibility, inclusivity, and a strong emphasis on data integrity; employees enjoy a results‑only work environment, regular virtual knowledge‑sharing sessions, and clear pathways for skill development.
The role of AI Facial Data Collection Associate (also referred to as AI Facial Data Collection Contributor) is a remote, contract‑based position designed specifically for contributors aged 50 years or older. As a contributor, you will help enrich the facial‑recognition training pipeline by providing authentic, unedited visual content captured over the past five years. This data will be used to improve the accuracy and fairness of AI models that power everything from security systems to mobile applications. The engagement is short‑term, with a one‑time payment upon successful submission of the required assets.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Capture and submit 30 high‑resolution, unedited selfies taken within the last five years.
2. Capture and submit 10 short video clips (minimum 10 seconds each) taken within the last five years.
3. Ensure all media are free from filters, beautification apps, or any post‑processing edits.
4. Follow detailed submission guidelines provided by the project manager.
5. Verify that each file meets the required format, resolution, and naming conventions.
6. Report any technical issues or ambiguities promptly to the support team.
7. Incorporate feedback from the quality‑control team and resubmit any rejected assets.
8. Maintain confidentiality of the project and refrain from sharing any proprietary instructions.
9. Keep a log of submission timestamps for audit purposes.
10. Complete a brief post‑submission questionnaire about the experience.
Tech Stack & Tools: The role does not require programming skills; contributors will use a smartphone or digital camera, a secure web portal for uploads, and basic file‑format conversion tools if needed. The platform employs end‑to‑end encryption to protect personal data.
Growth Path: While this is a contract gig, high‑performing contributors may be invited to join longer‑term data‑annotation projects, mentor newer contributors, or transition into remote quality‑assurance roles within Micro1.ai.
Why Join: This opportunity offers a generous hourly rate for a simple, home‑based task, flexible timing, and the chance to be part of a cutting‑edge AI initiative that values the perspectives of senior citizens. It also provides a safe, remote work environment with clear payment terms and no hidden fees.
