Common questions
Is Ethos regular AI training work like rating chatbot responses?
No. Ethos is an expert network, not a task queue. AI labs, investment funds, and Fortune 500s pay to access your specific domain knowledge (deal analysis, clinical reasoning, legal logic, financial modeling) through three formats: multi-week consulting engagements, 30-60 minute advisory calls, and targeted research surveys.
Do I need to keep applying for projects on Ethos?
No. Once your profile is live, Ethos's algorithm matches you to inbound opportunities based on your career history, so companies find you instead of you hunting for listings. Your Expert Score rises with each completed engagement and unlocks higher-value work over time. Ethos already works with 25+ private equity firms, hedge funds, and consultancies, so the deal flow behind this is real.
How is my creative work used in AI training?
As ground-truth data: for writers, that means creative generation samples; for voice actors, it often means training text-to-speech models. Check the specific contract details on rights usage for your voice or likeness before signing.
Do creative AI training roles allow creative freedom?
Some, within limits. You're hired for your talent, but most projects still require following strict style guides, like keeping a neutral tone or matching a technical-manual style. Consistency across the dataset matters more than personal expression here.
What does Creative work look like for a Media / Journalism / Communications Professional Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Creative, not generic labeling. As a Media / Journalism / Communications Professional Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Creative) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Creative background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Expert is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $70/hr, an hourly rate. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Ethos's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Who built Ethos and is it legitimate?
Yes, it's legitimate and well-funded: Ethos raised $3.5M from General Catalyst and was co-founded by Daniel Mankowitz (Google DeepMind research scientist and lead author of AlphaDev) and James Lo (McKinsey, SoftBank Vision Fund). Over 17,000 experts have signed up, and it's actively working with 25+ PE firms, hedge funds, and consultancies. The referral link on this page is an affiliate link; it doesn't affect your pay or opportunities.
