AI Summary

In a large textile factory in Karur, India, three men equipped workers with GoPros and smart glasses to capture their motions. One worker, 40‑year‑old Shoba Kirubakaran, was filmed while packing yellow aprons with chicken designs for the brand Designs By Danica, unaware the footage would train AI robots to replace her role. Kirubakaran said this was the third time she was asked to wear a GoPro and that the company never informed her of the purpose. NPR disclosed the training intent during its interview with her.
