Is Handshake AI a legitimate AI-training platform?
Handshake AI fellowship / opportunity network - and that relationship is rated "Confirmed" here because it can be checked against joinhandshake.com rather than taken on Handshake AI's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
