Learn the skills AI companies pay humans for.
howto1000x is a training program for the people who train AI. Our courses teach you to work as an RLHF trainer, AI eval expert, red teamer, agent evaluator and eight more roles — remote work that can pay up to $200 an hour.
Once you're trained, we connect strong graduates with opportunities and sometimes hire them ourselves. Your $60 pays for training only. It doesn't buy a job, and we don't guarantee placement.
Index of human-data spend, 2024 = 1x. Projection reflects the 3–5x growth in AI training data spend forecast by industry leaders.
The fastest-growing job market nobody is teaching.
Labs spend billions on human feedback because models can't grade themselves. The work is remote, flexible and well paid — but platforms reject most applicants at the assessment stage. That gap is exactly what we close.
