International Humanitarian Law Advisor

The work

You will help create and assess AI training materials focused on international humanitarian law, international human-rights law, civilian protection, proportionality, and prohibited conduct. Your work will test whether AI responses recognize lawful and unlawful conduct, handle uncertainty, and protect civilians without refusing legitimate requests.

The role combines legal analysis, scenario writing, response evaluation, and clear feedback for improving model evaluation and development.

• Write boundary-case scenarios covering international humanitarian law, human rights, civilian protection, proportionality, and prohibited conduct.
• Review legal boundaries and project taxonomies against current international humanitarian and human-rights frameworks.
• Evaluate AI-generated responses for legal reasoning, limitations, uncertainty, and appropriate safeguards.
• Identify both excessive refusals of legitimate questions and insufficient caution in civilian-protection cases.
• Document complex and ambiguous edge cases from legal and human-rights perspectives.
• Help refine evaluation protocols and provide clear written and verbal feedback.
