The new tech job you’ve never heard of and why India’s leading it
Manage episode 494484878 series 3423246
Welcome to the world of AI trainers.
A growing army of freelancers is quietly shaping the way large language models think.
Hired by companies like Turing, Mercor, and Deccan AI, these trainers are tasked with finding blind spots in models built by OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Google—and fixing them.
The goal? Fewer hallucinations. Smarter, more coherent responses. A model that feels just a little more… human.
It’s a noble endeavour. But also a billable one.
And as this new line of white-collar gig work takes off, India is fast becoming its beating heart.
But behind the hype lies a murkier story.
Tune in.
