Handshake AI Pays Up to $30K for Your Work Documents

Handshake AI, based in San Francisco, is hiring "Professional Document Contributors" and paying up to $30,000 for high-quality written documents. They want people with experience in consulting, finance, law, software engineering, or data science. You must own the documents and have permission to share them.

They pay $6 per approved page. You can submit up to 50 documents, each up to 100 pages. But slides and presentations usually don't qualify. The company hasn't explained how they check if you really own the documents.

Privacy expert Thomas Ahlering worries about what the data will be used for and who owns the documents. Work you create for your employer usually belongs to the company, so sharing it can be risky. This is a gray area, and experts advise caution.
