Original: Textile factory workers in India are teaching AI how to do their jobs
Textile factory workers in India are being employed to teach artificial intelligence systems how to perform tasks from their own jobs, according to NPR.

Why now: The irony of workers training AI to do their own jobs touches on widespread anxieties about automation and job losses.
