Hundreds of thousands of workers in India are being paid to record their everyday activities, like cutting hair or doing chores. Video footage is then sold to tech companies and research labs to train physical AI, which controls real-world robots. Workers can earn $5 to $10, which provides meaningful income for many after completing eight to 10 hours of recorded work.
