micro1 is engaging Forensic SME - Firearm & Toolmark Examinations to contribute to a specialized project focused on evaluating and enhancing AI capabilities in forensic science. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity involves reviewing and validating AI-generated responses to complex firearm and toolmark examination scenarios, directly influencing the accuracy of AI in forensic contexts.
Scope of Work
- Review AI model benchmark answers for 10 forensic firearm and toolmark examination test cases.
- Assess the accuracy and completeness of AI-generated responses related to microscopic comparative ballistics and toolmark identification.
- Evaluate firing pin and breech face impression analyses for adherence to forensic laboratory methodologies.
- Examine responses for correct interpretation of rifling characteristics and other ballistic evidence.
- Provide written and verbal feedback on strengths and areas for improvement in AI model outputs.
- Document recommendations to enhance AI systems based on forensic laboratory standards and best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Extensive experience in forensic firearms analysis, toolmark identification, and ballistics casework.
- Hands-on background in microscopic comparison and interpretation of firing pin and breech face impressions.
- Demonstrated expertise applying forensic laboratory standards and protocols to real-world examinations.
