Key Responsibilities
-
Evaluate AI-Generated Science: Review model responses to complex biological queries for factual accuracy, reasoning, and adherence to scientific consensus.
-
Fact-Check Technical Claims: Validate citations from public databases (e.g., PubMed, NCBI) and ensure AI summaries of research papers are accurate.
-
Assess Experimental Logic: Critique AI-proposed experimental designs, including controls, variables, and lab troubleshooting steps.
-
Annotate Scientific Data: Identify and correct errors in model-generated biological sequences, chemical structures, or taxonomy classifications.
-
Ensure Ethical Alignment: Verify that AI responses regarding bioethics and sensitive biological data comply with professional and safety standards.
-
Task Duration: Tasks typically require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.
