About the role
AI Humanities specialist role at SpaceXSI to enhance Grok models by providing data annotations and inputs in humanities contexts, evaluating outputs, and collaborating with engineering to design evaluation tasks and benchmarks.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate model outputs in humanities for factual accuracy, logical coherence, fallacious reasoning, and hidden assumptions.
- Flag confident-sounding errors, anachronisms, misused sources, ideological slant, and claims that outrun the evidence.
- Create exemplary responses and datasets showing intellectual honesty, careful source evaluation, and clear distinction between primary evidence, secondary interpretation, and speculation.
- Steel-man opposing views before criticizing them, and mark what is settled, contested, or unknown.
- Ground annotations and reference answers in primary sources whenever they exist, then weigh secondary scholarship against that record.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design evaluation tasks, rubrics, and examples that test and strengthen Grok’s behavior and personality in the humanities.
- Help define what good model behavior looks like in contested humanistic questions: precise, sourced, proportionately confident, and resistant to fashionable or motivated readings.
Qualifications
- Deep knowledge in at least one of: linguistics, history, classical studies, literature, poetry, philosophy, ethics, visual arts, or performing arts.
- Ability to assess arguments for validity, soundness, hidden premises, and category errors, not only surface correctness.
- Habitual reliance on primary sources with skill weighing them against secondary literature.
- Ability to steel-man opposing views and separate settled knowledge from interpretation or speculation.
- Excellent analytical writing in English: clear, precise, and calibrated to the strength of the evidence.
- Comfort working from evolving instructions to produce annotations, critiques, and reference answers at a consistently high standard.
