How to apply to Uber AI Solutions

Who can join

• Be of legal age, create a profile and upload a government-issued ID. A background verification check is also required, to the extent local law allows.
• Live where Uber AI Solutions is live. In the US it is live in every state except California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington State, and not in Washington, DC; elsewhere you sign up for a wait list and are notified when tasks open in your area.
• In the US, an ID valid for at least 30 days: a driver's license, state or city identity card, passport, employment authorization document or US Permanent Resident Card, with your name entered exactly as it appears on it. The photo must be clear, as a PDF, JPEG, JPG or PNG of 5 MB or less.
• No degree or work history to open an account: Uber says there are no minimum education or experience requirements, matches opportunities to the skills you share and its clients' needs, and asks eligibility questions for some specialized work.
• A computer, not just a phone, for portal work: Uber recommends a midrange desktop or laptop with at least 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended), a modern multicore processor such as an Intel i3 or i5 or AMD Ryzen 5, at least 128 GB of storage and a stable connection of at least 15 to 20 Mbps.
• A bank account and, in the US, W-9 tax details (an SSN or EIN). You cannot be assigned tasks until your bank and tax details are complete, and without certified tax information a 24% tax withholding may apply.
• For Digital Tasks inside the Driver app, be one of the select US drivers and couriers invited during the pilot and opt in; access is limited and tasks depend on clients' needs.
• For expert roles, the posting's own bar: Uber's Freelance AI Evaluator posting on Handshake asks for someone based in the US with at least two years of high-level AI or LLM annotation, evaluation or specialized content review.

Step by step

1. 1

   Check that it is live where you are

   In the US it runs in every state except California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington State, and not in Washington, DC. Where it is not live, the sign-up shows a wait list pop-up; join it to be notified when tasks start in your area.

2. 2

   Create your account

   Press Sign up on Uber's Earn with AI Solutions page and use your phone number, email, or an existing Google or Apple account.

3. 3

   Verify your identity

   Enter your name exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID and upload a clear photo of it; a blurry photo slows the process and keeps you from earning. Part of this process is a background check.

4. 4

   Complete onboarding and choose your skills

   Log in to the Uber AI Solutions portal, open the Task Hub and choose Complete Onboarding to unlock paid tasks. Pick your specializations (for example JavaScript for coding, or chemistry as a STEM domain), list up to 5 languages you are fluent in, and add recent freelance work and years of experience. Once submitted, skills cannot be changed or removed, only added to.

5. 5

   Upload proof of an advanced degree

   If you have one, upload a diploma or transcripts during onboarding. Uber says verifying an advanced degree helps unlock higher-level opportunities.

6. 6

   Confirm the contract agreement

   Review the Contract Agreement and select Confirm and finish. Identity and profile verification typically takes up to 4 days.

7. 7

   Add bank and tax details while you wait

   While your profile is under review, add your bank details and tax profile in the portal; US earners submit W-9 details (SSN or EIN). Uber uses the bank details for direct deposits, and you cannot be assigned tasks until this step is done.

8. 8

   Pass a task-type eligibility requirement

   Some opportunities for Uber's clients have eligibility criteria: for work needing specialized skills you answer questions, such as translating a short piece of content, and passing gives access to specialized gigs with higher earning potential. Uber's onboarding tips list completing at least one Task Type Eligibility Requirement among the steps before tasks show.

9. 9

   Take tasks from the Task Hub

   Each opportunity shows its estimated pay and requirements up front, so you decide whether to accept. After you accept a task you get information and examples to help you complete it, and you can track what you have finished and your progress over time. Opportunities are not guaranteed.

10. 10

    Drivers and couriers: opt in to Digital Tasks

    Select US drivers and couriers see the option in the Driver app's Work Hub and invitations in Opportunities. You opt in in a few steps, see the full list of tasks with time and earnings estimates before you start (such as recording yourself speaking, submitting documents in other languages or uploading everyday images), and earnings are added to your balance within 24 hours.

Tips to get accepted

• Check the schedule for your country before you count on the money: Uber's UK page says AI Solutions pays monthly, on the third working day of the following month, and only once your balance reaches a minimum of US$20 to US$50.
• Send your US W-9 details (SSN or EIN) early: without certified tax information a 24% withholding may apply, and your 1099-NEC appears under Tax Documents in the portal's Earnings section no later than 31 January of the next year.
• Treat Digital Tasks in the Driver app as occasional extra money: Uber said tasks would be limited as the option scales, and drivers who signed up in 2025 told Reddit they got only a task here and there.
• Experts can also apply to Uber AI Solutions' freelance postings on Handshake: on 12 November 2026 its Freelance AI Evaluator preview stated $110 an hour, remote, for people based in the US (the preview shows no posting date).
• Expect uneven hours on expert projects: contractors told Business Insider that Uber's email asked for 20 to 40 hours a week, at least 70% of them between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific, but the client set each week's hours, and some weeks were zero.
• Expert projects can screen on their own: Business Insider reported that for Project Sandbox, AI training for Google, a staffing agency cold-emailed people with advanced degrees or relevant experience and cleared them to join after an assessment.
• A reviewer who holds two accounts (RemoWork, August 2026) reports, citing Uber's help centre, that only accepted work is paid, that failing an eligibility test locks that specialization for three months, and that deleting your AI Solutions account can delete Uber rider, driver and Eats accounts on the same email.
• Enter your Uber login only on uber.com, login.uber.com, help.uber.com or auth.uber.com. Uber says it will never call, text or email you to ask for your password, a verification code or your banking details.
