Indians are training robots to take on household work — from folding towels to washing dishes

India is at the forefront of pioneering AI robot training for daily tasks, with ordinary citizens documenting their chores for payment. These videos, which encompass everything from meal preparation to laundry, provide essential data for developing 'embodied AI' that mimics human dexterity. While this advancement opens new avenues for automation, it simultaneously raises critical questions about job loss and equitable compensation for those sharing their experiences.
