LinkedIn tests paid AI work

LinkedIn is testing paid work that asks professionals to train artificial intelligence systems, with some listings reportedly offering as much as ₹14,000 an hour. (msn.com) Reports published on April 14 said the Microsoft-owned platform was running early trials of an “AI labour marketplace” and had posted more than a dozen trainer roles. The jobs involved rating chatbot answers, flagging mistakes, and “red teaming,” a testing process that tries to expose model weaknesses. (menafn.com) The reported pay range ran from about ₹3,700 to ₹14,000 an hour, or roughly $40 to $150, and the roles spanned fields including software engineering, finance, healthcare, and language work. The screening process reportedly used eligibility checks and artificial-intelligence-led matching before workers were assigned projects. (economictimes.indiatimes.com) This kind of work is the human layer behind chatbots: people with domain knowledge score outputs, rewrite weak answers, and stress-test systems before those systems are used more widely. LinkedIn’s test would place that work inside a platform already built around résumés, job history, and professional identity.

Substack says Notes are public short posts that appear on the web, in the app, and on a creator’s profile, and that subscribers can see a creator’s Notes activity in the Home feed. (support.substack.com) Substack also describes Notes as part of its built-in discovery network, alongside recommendations, referrals, leaderboards, and search. The company says the platform combines publishing, payments, and audience growth tools in one system rather than sending creators to separate marketing software. (substack.com) That setup has encouraged creators to treat short posts and comment habits as daily distribution work, while newer artificial-intelligence tools are being used to replace tasks once handed to contractors or virtual assistants. The result is a split market: some platforms are paying humans to improve AI, while some creators are using AI to reduce human labor costs. (support.substack.com, substack.com) LinkedIn has not, in the reports reviewed here, announced a broad public launch date for the marketplace. For now, the clearest signal is that professional platforms are starting to sell two kinds of work at once: human expertise for training models, and software tools that can replace parts of routine knowledge work.
