What caught our eye this week
The standout: evaluation work, and lots of it
This was a flood week — and unusually, the flood was accessible. Evaluation and general AI-rating work led the volume by a wide margin, and most of it needs no credential — just careful judgment and attention to detail. That’s the tier to start in if you’re new. At the top of the table, native-accent voice roles and a clinical-law-professor posting set the ceiling. High volume plus an accessible core made this one of the better weeks in a while to place your first application.
The tiers, quickly
Entry ($15–50/hr, no degree): voice recording in your native accent, data annotation, and general AI-output rating. A quiet room, a stable connection, and care are the only requirements.
Mid ($50–150/hr): your day job probably has an AI-training equivalent at a similar rate — evaluation and review work across coding, operations, education, and finance.
Expert ($130–400/hr): medicine, law, senior finance, and frontier engineering, where a specific credential is the gate and the pay reflects genuine scarcity.
Volume: 34 new listings this week, led by translation(12). Grouped below by pay tier so you can jump straight to your band.

Frequently asked questions
What new AI training jobs were posted this week (July 24, 2026)?
34 new AI training listings appeared on tracked sources between 2026-07-17 and 2026-07-24, with an average hourly rate of $78/hr. Sorted by pay, grouped by tier so you can jump straight to the roles that fit your background.
Do I need a degree or credential for these roles?
It depends on the tier. The entry tier (under $30/hr) — voice recording, data annotation, general AI-output rating — needs no degree, just attention to detail. The expert tier ($130/hr and up) needs a specific credential: board certification for medical, a law degree plus bar admission for legal, or years of operating experience for engineering and senior finance. The mid tier sits in between.
How does the pay work, and when do I get paid?
Almost all of these are contract-hourly roles paid in USD, typically weekly, via the source platform's own payment system. The schedule is asynchronous — you log in when you have time, pick up tasks, and submit. Most people who do this alongside a main job put in 5–15 hours a week.
