India's workers are training AI robots to take their jobs

India's workers are training AI robots to take their jobs With a smartphone strapped to her head, Indian housewife Nagireddy Sriramyachandra films herself slicing mangoes to train artificial intelligence-powered robots to take on household tasks in the future. Earning 250 rupees ($2.6) for one 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 else will give you 250 rupees an hour just for doing housework?" "I may get a robot myself in the future," she added.
