AI Trainer - Advanced Mandarin Fluency

About the Role

We are looking for fluent Mandarin speakers to help train the next generation of AI models through real conversation. You'll join live video calls with other Mandarin-speaking participants, chatting naturally about everyday topics while your conversation is used to help AI models better understand how people actually speak.

This is a task-based AI Training job that allows participants to choose their schedule and how much they work—there's no fixed schedule and no minimum hours requirement. Once you join the talent pool, you'll complete a short assessment on your language skills, which also opens the door to similar paid projects in the future.

Responsibilities

• Have live, natural conversations in Mandarin with other participants over video call.
• Discuss everyday topics and let the conversation flow naturally—no scripts, no performance.
• Contribute to AI training by allowing your conversations to be recorded, helping models learn natural speech patterns, tone, and cultural nuance.

Tasks are posted individually—you'll see task details, time estimate, and pay before deciding whether to take one on.

Requirements

• Fluency in Mandarin: you must be a fully fluent Mandarin speaker.
• Communication: fluent English for instructions and reporting.
• A natural conversationalist: comfortable chatting easily and holding a flowing conversation over video call with someone new.
• Technical Setup: a quiet environment and good-quality headphones/microphone, essential for clear audio and accurate data collection.
• Soft Skills: friendly, easygoing, and comfortable talking with new people; backgrounds in teaching, interpreting, customer service, or linguistics are a plus.

Pay

Researchers looking for these skills tend to pay up to $18/hour.

Benefits

• Influence the AI models of the future using your language expertise.
• Join Prolific in just 15 minutes after passing the assessment.
• Competitive pay rates and flexible hours.
• Work from home with no fixed schedule or minimum hours requirement.
