- Write and revise guidelines for human annotation and other AI projects, including but not limited to translation tasks.

- Perform linguistic analyses for Responsible AI (toxic language, hate speech, gender bias, and other cultural biases) in massively multilingual settings.
- Conduct linguistic literature reviews on various NLP-adjacent topics and summarize findings.
- Compare the quality of deliveries between vendors, identify error patterns, and provide actionable feedback.
- Provide information or guidance relative to any aspect of linguistic knowledge (typology, morpho-syntax, sociolinguistics, classification, phonetics/phonology, pragmatics, etc.).
- Reach out to and collaborate with native speakers in various languages.
- Communicate results of linguistic analyses to engineers and research scientists.
