Of everything Handshake AI Fellowship offers, the AI Trainer (someone who helps improve AI by reviewing or creating training data) - Generalist role is the one with a stable, individually verifiable listing page — and the one genuinely open to beginners.
What the Role Involves
You apply professional or academic judgment to create AI training content and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and quality, working asynchronously and remotely on projects matched to your background.
Who Qualifies
Current students (Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's) and degree holders across all disciplines and majors. No specific expertise is required — Handshake AI's own listing states 'no specific expertise required, just attention to detail.' You do need to be US-based with valid work authorization — official legal permission to work in a specific country, (see our [dedicated eligibility guide](/articles/handshake-ai-eligibility-outside-us)).
Pay
'Up to $30/hr, depending on the project,' per the listing itself.
Application Steps
Sign up and create an account → verify your identity → join and onboard into relevant projects → work with others in the community. Successful experience makes you eligible for more projects over time.
Final Thoughts
If you're eligible on location, this is a genuinely accessible entry point — no degree in a specific field, no prior AI experience, just careful attention to detail.
