LinkedIn is reportedly testing an 'AI labour marketplace' that allows users to earn between ₹3,700 and ₹14,000 ($40-$150) per hour by training AI chatbots. The platform has listed various roles for AI trainers, which include evaluating chatbot responses and identifying errors. The highest-paying position is for a senior software engineer trainer, while roles for finance experts and language specialists can earn up to ₹9,300 ($100) per hour. To apply, users must verify their profiles with a government ID, complete an AI-driven skills assessment, and finish project-specific tasks. This initiative puts LinkedIn in competition with AI training startups like Mercor and Surge AI, which connect human experts with AI companies. However, the rapid growth in this sector raises concerns about data security, as evidenced by recent breaches affecting companies like Scale AI and Mercor.
