Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.
Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM, and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.
Role Overview
Turing is inviting musicians to participate in a unique research initiative. As part of the Common Lives Project , you and a fellow musician will wear GoPros during your collaborative practice or recording sessions. Your footage will power future AI models that understand complex, real-world activities.
Responsibilities
- Wear a head-mounted GoPro camera to capture daily activities for 5 separate days within a 2-week window.
- Record a minimum of 7 hours per day, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy.
- At the end of each day, spend around 2 hours to upload footage to a secure platform and decide whether to delete, anonymize, or consent to each video segment.
Household Requirements

- Preferably engaged in manual or creative work (e.g., chef, baker, artist, carpenter, musician, electrician, mechanic).
- Must be self-employed or have employer consent to record in the work environment.
- Able to use a computer for basic tasks such as reviewing and uploading video clips.
Technical Requirements
- Must have access to a computer and internet connection.
- Comfortable using web-based tools for uploading and reviewing clips (training will be provided).
- GoPro camera and all accessories will be provided for the duration of the project.
Perks of Freelancing With Turing
- Play a vital role in shaping the future of human-centered AI research.
- Short-term, flexible engagement with minimal disruption to your routine.
- All equipment provided by Turing.
- Be part of an innovative global data collection initiative.
- Engagement Type: Contractor / Freelance.
- Duration: 2 weeks (plus setup and review time).
- Location: United States only (note: certain states/provinces are excluded due to consent regulations).
Application Process
- Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for a brief screening.
- Once accepted, Turing will ship all necessary equipment and provide onboarding instructions.
- Participants will receive training on how to record, upload, and review their footage securely.
