About Turing Based in San Francisco, Turing is the world's leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI. Turing helps customers accelerate research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and top AI specialists across coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents. Role Overview You will source authentic, licensed photographs of real-world places, products, and media, then create cropped, occluded, or degraded versions that require AI agents to use tools like Google Search, Google Lens, or reverse image search to identify the subject. Each submission includes a prompt, grading rubric, and detailed solution notes. Key Responsibilities Source high-quality, verifiably licensed photographs of real-world subjects relevant to the assigned locale.
