Prolific Participants indicates Up to $120/hr for this role, but hedges the figure rather than committing to it. Treat it as an indication: HumanSourcer flags hedged pay instead of presenting it as a firm rate, and the listing's own wording is quoted in the Pay section above.
What kind of work is AI Trainer - Mechanical Engineers - CAD Expertise - (Remote Advisory - Mexico)?
Coding / software engineering. Research studies, behavioural data and AI evaluation/training tasks
Is Prolific Participants a legitimate AI-training platform?
Direct participant marketplace and expert network - and that relationship is rated "Confirmed" here because it can be checked against www.prolific.com rather than taken on Prolific Participants'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.
