The job description
About the Role
AI is increasingly being used to navigate complex legal and regulatory landscapes — and it needs to get things right. We're looking for legal, policy, and government professionals to help evaluate and improve AI-generated content in these high-stakes domains. Your expertise will directly shape how AI handles legislation, case law, compliance, and public policy — making these systems more accurate, trustworthy, and reliable for the people who depend on them.
What You'll Do
- Review AI-generated legal analyses, policy summaries, and government-related content for factual accuracy and completeness
- Evaluate the proper use of legal terminology, citations, and regulatory references
- Identify factual errors, logical flaws, or misleading interpretations in AI outputs
- Assess whether AI responses appropriately handle nuance across areas like legislation, case law, compliance, and public policy
- Provide clear, structured written feedback to improve AI performance on legal and government topics
- Work independently and asynchronously — entirely on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Strong understanding of legal concepts, government processes, or public policy
- Excellent reading comprehension and analytical skills in English
- Sharp attention to detail — especially around precise language and factual claims
- Clear, structured written communication
- Comfortable evaluating content across diverse legal and regulatory topics
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Background in law, political science, public administration, or a related field
- Experience with legal research, compliance, legislation drafting, or government operations
- Paralegal, legal assistant, or policy research experience
- Familiarity with Brazilian, Latin American, or international regulatory frameworks and civil law systems
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects that directly shape how AI handles critical legal and government content
- Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work when it suits you
- Collaborate with top research labs and a global community of subject matter experts
- Freelance perks: full autonomy, schedule flexibility, and meaningful real-world impact
- Build expertise at the intersection of AI and law — a fast-growing and high-demand space
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
