Handshake AI

Handshake AI is an emerging initiative from the career network Handshake that matches college students, graduates, and alumni with paid AI training and evaluation opportunities. Contributors annotate datasets, test domain specific model knowledge in academic fields, review research paper summaries, and evaluate synthetic AI output across humanities, social sciences, and engineering. Hourly rates range from $18 to $35 per hour depending on academic discipline and class standing. Work is remote and scheduled flexibly around university classes, offering students practical resume credentials and dependable supplemental income paid directly to bank accounts through direct deposit or Stripe.
