Are AI Training Jobs a Scam?
Given the relative newness of the technology, AI jobs have been popping up across the job search landscape. Of course, many of these jobs are undeniably legitimate, particularly the ones that come from reputable companies like Google, Microsoft, and other big tech firms.
However, as is often the case, there are likely scammers that have jumped on the AI trend that you need to be wary of. While there haven’t been any full-on confirmed AI trainer job scams, there are some users online — including posters on Medium and Reddit — that have reported suspicious activity from businesses inquiring about the position, including lower rates of pay than listed and questionable onboarding practices.
All that to say, it’s best to be extra vigilant if you’re looking for an AI training job on sites like Upwork and Fiverr, because they might not be entirely forthcoming with the details. After all, if something seems too good to be true, it often is.
