What is a virtual labeler?

A virtual labeler is a person who tags, categorizes, or labels digital data such as images, videos, audio, or text. This work is usually done online and is essential for training artificial intelligence and machine learning models, which rely on accurately labeled data to learn and make predictions. Virtual labelers may work on projects like identifying objects in photos, transcribing speech, or tagging content for search engines. The position is often remote and may be freelance, part-time, or full-time depending on the employer.
