 India as Data Hub

Why the Sudden Surge

Closing Thoughts

Physical AI is being seen as the next frontier of artificial intelligence. Not AI that lives on screens. But AI that can navigate and operate in the real world — from humanoid robots and warehouses to factories and homes. But these systems need enormous amounts of real-world human activity data to learn movement and physical tasks. And increasingly, India is emerging as a low-cost training ground for that data collection. In this episode, Host Anirban Chowdhury talks to ET’s Puran Choudhary and Disha Acharya on wearable cameras, AI data pipelines, privacy risks, regulatory gaps and the hidden human layer powering the next AI boom.
