Indians wear smartphones on their heads to train AI robots that could replace them
Thousands of Indian workers, including a homemaker in Chennai, are wearing smartphones on their heads to record daily tasks like cutting mangoes and making garlands, earning about $2.6 per hour to train AI for humanoid robots. The robotics market is forecast to boom, with over 1 billion robots expected by 2050, but experts warn of job losses for the 490 million informal workers who form India's economic backbone.
