Religion Specialist AI Trainer

Religion Specialist AI Trainer at Meridial Marketplace, by Invisible

Are you knowledgeable about religion or religious studies and eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are evolving from simple conversational tools into systems capable of interpreting historical texts, analyzing belief systems, and supporting comparative and cultural understanding. With high-quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can help improve religious literacy, support education, and provide more accurate cultural and historical context. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for individuals with familiarity in areas such as world religions, theology, religious history, philosophy of religion, comparative religion, sacred texts, and cultural or anthropological perspectives on belief systems. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics such as interpretation of religious texts, historical context, doctrinal differences, ethical frameworks, religious practices, and interfaith perspectives—documenting failure modes so we can strengthen model reasoning and cultural accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage language models with religious/historical scenarios, analytical and interpretive questions.
• Evaluate AI accuracy and neutrality concerning religious and cultural topics.
• Verify logical consistency and capture reproducible error traces for model improvement.
• Provide structured feedback to enhance prompts, evaluation frameworks, and reasoning quality.
• Identify and report instances where models oversimplify beliefs or misinterpret information.

Qualifications

• Familiarity with world religions, theology, religious history, philosophy of religion, comparative religion, sacred texts, and cultural/anthropological perspectives.
• Degree in religious studies, theology, history, anthropology, or related humanities field preferred, but not required.
• Entry-level candidates with coursework, independent study, teaching, or strong personal interest encouraged.
• Clear, metacognitive communication, explicitly articulating reasoning and interpretive steps.

About the Role

This is a freelance/contract, remote position. You'll contribute directly to training the next generation of AI systems, helping them support education, cultural understanding, and responsible interpretation of complex topics. We offer a competitive hourly rate determined by experience, expertise, and geographic location.
