Indian workers training the robots that may replace them
Original: This seems like a bad idea for India. "These workers help train robots who could one day steal their jobs" # India # AI
In India, workers are employed to help train AI and robotics systems, despite the risk that the same technology could eventually automate their own jobs. The situation has drawn attention as an example of the paradox of the AI boom: low-paid workers in developing countries building the tools that may eliminate their livelihoods, raising questions about wages, poverty and the future of employment.
Why now: The irony of workers training the technology that could take their jobs is resonating amid wider debate about AI and employment.
