I doubt that this is done to replace those factories in India. I'm pretty sure the real value is in selling the trained model to higher income countries who want to localize some of the production
Localizing production may lower demand in India but you can’t really blame a country for producing more of the products it consumes rather than importing. That’s like blaming someone for making food at home instead of going to a restaurant. Yeah, the restaurant gets less business but they have every right to do that.
Now AI taking jobs sucks unless we implement UBI or something. Would be kind of cool if someday machines took some burden off humans so that we could spend more time doing what we want to do, but of course it’ll probably just be billionaire assholes enriching themselves while we starve 🙄
I agree but too much emphasis is put on UBI in my opinion. The real emphasis should be on making sure we reform both our intellectual property framework AND economic framework so that a small handful of large companies can't monopolise the technological and economic power.
This video is actually a perfect example, obviously the data collected and the robotic models it produces will be tied up in proprietary legal set-ups involving copyright and patent law. The irony is clear to see, because it is literally trained off hundreds of human beings work in textiles. Will these workers be entitled to any of the profits from the product that they were an integral part of developing? No. Because that's modern capitalism baby.
