A growing number of Indian factories are experimenting with equipping workers with GoPro cameras to document their daily tasks, with the explicit aim of using the footage to train robotic systems for automation. The initiative raises questions about the feasibility of replicating human labor through machine learning, as well as the potential impact on employment. While proponents argue the technology could improve efficiency, critics warn of broader economic and social consequences if successful. The approach highlights the accelerating push toward AI-driven automation in manufacturing.
Factory workers in India are being asked to wear GoPro cameras to record the way they do their jobs. The ultimate goal is to train robots to take over. Will it work?
