Job description

About the Role: Do you have a background in Psychology? At TELUS Digital, we are looking for freelancers to help make the internet a safer place. You don't need to be a tech expert or a computer scientist. Your job is to use your understanding of human behavior and mental health to check if AI-generated content is safe, helpful, and responsible. You are the "Human Compass" that helps the AI understand people better.

What You’ll Do (Simple Tasks):

Safety Reviews: Review content that has been flagged as potentially risky or harmful and decide if it follows safety rules.

Behavior Analysis: Look at how an AI interacts with users and identify if it is showing any biased or unfair behavior.

Risk Reporting: Identify "gray areas" where an AI might give bad advice and suggest better, safer ways for it to respond.

Mental Health Awareness: Use your degree to ensure the AI recognizes sensitive topics and handles them with care.

Qualification path

Mandatory Qualifications:

Education: A minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, Counseling, or a related field.

Native Language: Native-level proficiency in your primary language. You need to understand the cultural and emotional "vibe" of how people talk in your country.

English Proficiency: Basic (B1) English so you can read our project guides and safety rules.

Empathy & Logic: You are good at understanding how people feel and spotting risks that others might miss.

Assessment:

In order to be hired into our community, you’ll go through a subject-specific qualification exam that will determine your suitability for the position and complete ID verification.

Payment:

Currently, pay rates for experts range from $20 - $50 USD per hour

Our Payment terms are defined for each project.
