Our student reporter Shreya explores the emerging world of egocentric data, where workers’ first-person footage and sensor data are used to train Physical AI and humanoid robots. The episode examines India’s role in this new data economy, questioning privacy, consent, surveillance, ownership, compensation, and what happens when workers help train machines that could eventually replace them.
