The joint venture, “OpenAI Experts on Upwork,” intends to connect businesses with experts skilled in OpenAI technologies.
The initiative also encourages the ethical use of AI, offering businesses the chance to consult or contract experts based on their needs.
Upwork Marketplace VP of Product Dave Bottoms is enthused about the alliance, saying it would offer more substantial opportunities to professionals on Upwork and provide businesses the specialized talent they need for AI projects.
