Original caption
Thousands of Indian workers are filming themselves doing household tasks to train Al-powered robots to take them on in the future. Some Al trainers earn just over two dollars for an hour of video, with mundane recordings seen as invaluable for global tech companies teaching machines how to move like humans in the real world. India is aggressively developing its Al industry, but its leaders are aware that, alongside the technology's much-hyped benefits, automation poses risks.
