Your primary responsibilities will include developing prompts for AI models that reflect your expertise in special education and assessing the responses generated by these models. You will provide clear and structured feedback that helps strengthen the AI's understanding of educational tasks and language specific to your field.
You will work on a contract basis, contributing to various projects as they become available throughout the year. Your insights will play a crucial role in shaping how AI can be utilized in educational settings, particularly for preschool students with special needs. You will collaborate with a team of professionals who share your commitment to enhancing educational outcomes through innovative technology.
