About the role
Location: San Francisco, CA
Project Overview
- We are seeking participants for a large-scale, moderated, in-person video data collection
- study designed to support the development and evaluation of AI technologies.
- This is a paid indoor and outdoor study where participants will record short selfie videos
- while performing simple, natural actions such as sitting, standing, lying down, and
- moderate/brisk walking. All recordings will be completed using secure, client-provided
- devices under the guidance of trained moderators.
- As part of this study, participants will also be asked to have their photos taken. These
- photographs will be used to create physical and digital facial replicas, including 3D-printed,
- latex, silicone, paper, and digital face masks, which will be used to create anti-spoofing
- videos and develop anti-spoofing technologies.
- The purpose of this research is to help improve AI systems in a responsible, inclusive, and
- representative manner.
