We’re running a short video data collection project for one of our clients. We’re looking for native Arabic speakers across multiple Arabic-speaking countries and dialects to record a 15–20 second video, speaking naturally in Arabic and looking directly into the camera. The videos collected will be used to help train and evaluate an AI model that distinguishes real, human-recorded video from AI-generated (synthetic) video.
