Overview
Prolific is a British research technology company founded in 2014 by Oxford researchers that connects scientists, businesses and AI developers with a vetted pool of paid human participants. Its platform handles recruitment, demographic targeting, fair-pay enforcement, fraud screening and payment so studies return usable data instead of bot or duplicate responses. Originally built for academic behavioural research, the company now also supplies human feedback, preference data and evaluation for machine learning teams, and is headquartered in London with a large United States presence.
