You will help create responsible ways to evaluate AI systems used in defense and humanitarian settings. The work combines military operations knowledge, conflict ethics, targeting law, and international humanitarian law.

You will turn complex operational and legal issues into clear guidance for AI training and evaluation. Your analysis may be shared with people from different professional backgrounds.

• Develop taxonomies covering military use and defense operations across different conflict settings.
• Create frameworks that distinguish military applications of technology from civilian applications.
• Define prohibited assistance under international humanitarian law and convert those boundaries into AI evaluation guidance.
• Design conflict-risk rubrics and scenario-based tools for operational and ethical assessment.
• Evaluate and improve benchmarks for testing AI models in defense and humanitarian contexts.
• Write and discuss clear analyses of war fighting, targeting, and international humanitarian law concepts.

AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including writing, reviewing, and rating model responses. People with specialized experience help assess difficult subjects accurately and set clearer standards for how AI systems should behave. Open Train helps people find these projects, build a profile, and apply in minutes.
