'Folding clothes, coffee making, sandwich making': Indian workers training AI robots to take their jobs
With a smartphone strapped to her head, Indian housewife Nagireddy Sriramyachandra films herself slicing mangoes to train AI-powered robots to take on household jobs in the future. Earning just over two dollars for an hour of video, her mundane recordings are invaluable for global tech companies teaching machines how to move like humans in the real world. The 25-year-old is one of a growing army of thousands of AI system trainers in the world’s most populous country. “Who els
Thousands of individuals in India are participating in a growing field of AI training, capturing first-person video footage of everyday activities. Using head-mounted cameras and motion sensors, they record tasks like preparing food and folding laundry. This data, known as "egocentric data," is crucial for teaching AI models how to perform human-like actions in real-world environments. Companies are paying competitive rates for this footage, which is then used by global tech firms to develop more capable robots.
This practice highlights a new avenue of employment created by the AI boom, while simultaneously contributing to the development of automation that could eventually displace these very workers.
