Handshake AI wants to pay you up to $30K for work documents that you own
Handshake AI is paying $6 per page for written work documents of "high quality" — if you own them. A data privacy lawyer told BI he had concerns.
Handshake AI is seeking professionals to contribute their written work documents for AI training purposes. The company is offering $6 per page for accepted high-quality documents, with a maximum payment of $30,000 for up to 50 documents, each potentially containing up to 100 pages. To be eligible, applicants must own the documents and have the authorization to share them, preferably in fields such as finance or consulting.
This move comes as AI training firms seek broader datasets, but raises concerns regarding data privacy and copyright issues. Thomas Ahlering, a data privacy lawyer, expressed worries about the lack of clear guidelines on what qualifies as an acceptable document and potential confidentiality risks. Handshake AI has not responded to inquiries about its verification process for document ownership.
