AI has created a new job.

Do you all believe it fully?

There are various notions are prevailing that the advent of AI would erase the human jobs. This is being evident now from the IT industries as well. 

The job cut, AI automation are quite a few things that we come across on a day to day basis. The LLMs are proving that their coding skills are much efficient too.

Generally, the topic associated with AI is job loss. However, we have previously discussed that new employment opportunities would also emerge.

What has now appeared is a fascinating AI-related job. We will see this through this article

To take up this job, you do not need to acquire any new educational qualifications.

You do not need to possess high-performance computers too. In fact, you do not even need to physically go to a workplace.

This is not fiction; it is reality. There is just one thing you need to do.

You must strap a camera onto your body. They will even provide the camera for you. There are models designed to be worn on the hands or on the head.

Are you quite able to believe it?

Okay, so you’ve strapped it on—what comes next?

After that, you can simply continue with your usual daily household chores. You will be paid simply for wearing the camera.

It sounds a bit hard to believe, doesn't it? Let’s look at a few more details.

Suppose you are chopping vegetables. Before you begin, you must announce: "I am now going to chop vegetables." The camera device itself contains built-in microphones, which will then activate automatically. 

Subsequently, the device will observe and capture the entire process of you chopping the vegetables. It will record a video of the activity.

Once you are finished, you simply need to announce: "I’m done chopping!"

It doesn't stop at chopping vegetables; you can record anything—washing dishes, washing the car, mopping the floors at home and the possibilities are endless.

There is just one catch: while you are recording, you must not receive any phone calls, nor should you engage in idle chatter with anyone.

Do this, and that’s it—the job is done. Wait a minute, this doesn't this sound a bit like a cybercrime scam? What exactly will they do with these recordings?

This is where AI makes its entrance. The AI ​​systems we currently encounter exist primarily within computers; the next evolutionary stage involves AI systems that operate within robots. This is referred to as 'Physical AI.' These robots are need to  be taught exactly on how this is world would look like and its day-to-day activities for its better understanding. 

With the installed cameras and through the recorded videos, the required massive data sets are received and met.

AI has acquired knowledge by reading books. However, one cannot perform certain tasks relying solely on theoretical knowledge. To do so, it requires information on how average human beings function in the real world. That is the purpose of this camera service.

The devices they provide will record with high precision by observing exactly how your fingers move, and to what extent each specific finger bends. Robots are going to learn by observing such details meticulously.

We often install cameras knowing these all a potential threat to our privacy.

"But... doesn't this seem like trivial work?". This is a massive industry known as 'Data Collection and Labeling.' Essentially, it involves gathering information and "cooking" it—processing it—in a manner that makes it digestible for AI systems. By "cooking," I don't mean literal culinary cooking; I am using that metaphor to describe the process of "labeling."

Experts predict that by the year 2030, this sector will have evolved into a thriving industry with a turnover of seventeen billion dollars.
There are many questions were raised whether all these jobs are permanent? In fact, it remains doubtful whether the very concept of "permanent jobs" will even exist in the future.

You have likely heard of "gig workers." The individuals who deliver biryani from the popular food tech companies like Swiggy and Zomato, Uber and Ola taxi drivers ( in India), and those who bring Amazon parcels right to our doorsteps—all of these people are "gig workers." They are individuals who live by the motto, "Money in hand, food in mouth"—earning just enough each day to cover their immediate needs.

Many of the Americans are keen to take up these camera jobs also. Though it is not new in these times but the trend is attracting momentum.

In the past, such tasks were typically outsourced to regions like Africa. Now, however, these nations have adopted a new approach: prioritizing their own citizens first—operating on the principle that charity begins at home, and that one must secure one's own well-being before extending aid to others.
This trend is bound to become widespread in our region very soon as well. The very foundation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) lies in "mimicry."

Until now, this process has largely remained behind the scenes; henceforth, it is poised to become ubiquitous—present everywhere around us.

Robots capable of performing household chores may soon become a reality.
