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.
