About this role
Role Type: Contractor (~15 hrs/wk)
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging International Humanitarian Law Advisors to contribute to a customer project focused on the rigorous application of IHL and human-rights principles. 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 is an opportunity to make a tangible impact by shaping and verifying nuanced lawful/unlawful and civilian-protection boundary cases at the forefront of AI and legal reasoning.
Scope of Work
- Develop and author boundary case scenarios on international humanitarian law, civilian protection, proportionality, and prohibited conduct.
- Review and validate legal boundary lines within project taxonomies to ensure alignment with current IHL and human-rights frameworks.
- Assess AI-generated responses for legal reasoning, identification of limitations, and handling of legal uncertainty.
- Identify and flag both overly cautious refusals of legitimate queries and insufficient caution where civilian protection is critical.
- Document and provide detailed analyses of edge cases from both legal and human-rights perspectives.
- Collaborate with project teams to refine evaluation protocols and ensure consistent, high-quality input.
- Deliver clear, well-structured written and verbal feedback to inform model development and evaluation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Recognized expertise in international humanitarian law and/or international human rights law, such as a senior practitioner, advisor, or scholar.
