About The Position

Turing invites Intellectual Property law experts to join projects that fine-tune AI models like ChatGPT. You will apply your expertise in patent prosecution, trademark registration, copyright protection, and trade secret litigation to evaluate how AI reasons about IP-related legal questions. If you enjoy analyzing novelty, infringement claims, and licensing structures, this is your opportunity. No prior AI experience is required — your background in U.S. IP law is exactly what’s needed.

Requirements

Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited U.S. law school; Bar admission (active/inactive).
3+ years of U.S. legal practice in intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets).
Strong reasoning skills across IP prosecution, litigation, licensing, and enforcement.
Excellent written communication and attention to detail.
High ethical standards.

Responsibilities

Review and evaluate AI-generated responses to U.S. intellectual property hypotheticals, including patent eligibility (Alice/Mayo), trademark likelihood of confusion, copyright fair use analysis, and trade secret misappropriation.

Identify gaps in AI reasoning around claim construction, prior art analysis, distinctiveness, and DMCA safe harbors.
Provide detailed, high-quality annotations and written feedback to refine AI models.
Collaborate with researchers and project managers to align evaluation standards and project goals.
