AI Training via Cameras on Workers in India: Allegations Surface

Indian companies are being accused of using cameras mounted on workers' heads to train artificial intelligence systems. Videos circulating on social media show workers in garment factories wearing cameras while operating sewing machines.

According to reports, the companies are recording the workers' movements to create data that will be used to train robots. The goal is for robots to be able to replicate human movements and perform complex tasks.

While the threat of AI was previously thought to primarily affect intellectual tasks, these videos suggest that manual labor may also be impacted.
