About Turing
Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems.
Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L
Role Overview
The Common Lives Project is a pioneering initiative aimed at collecting rich, real-world data to better understand human daily routines for the development of next-generation AI systems. This will involve households recording their daily activities using wearable GoPro devices. The footage will inform research into AI perception, activity recognition, and social context understanding.
Responsibilities
Wear a head-mounted GoPro camera to capture daily activities for 5 separate days within a 2-week window
Record a minimum of 7 hours per day, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy
At the end of each day, spend around 2 hours to:
Upload your footage to a secure platform
Review short clips
Choose to delete, anonymize, or consent to each video segment

Participant Requirements:
Must work indoors in non-customer-facing roles (e.g., not retail or child care)
Participants who share the same workplace or household should both have a GoPro mounted during the activity.
Preferably engaged in manual or creative work (e.g., chef, baker, artist, carpenter, musician, electrician, mechanic)
Must be self-employed or have employer consent to record in the work environment
Able to use a computer for basic tasks such as reviewing and uploading video clips
Technical Requirements:
Must have access to a computer and internet connection
Comfortable using web-based tools for uploading and reviewing clips (training will be provided)
GoPro camera and all accessories will be provided for the duration of the project
Perks of Freelancing With Turing:

Short-term, flexible engagement with minimal disruption to your routine
All equipment provided by Turing
Be part of an innovative global data collection initiative
Offer Details:
