Human Archive, a startup founded by Berkeley and Stanford researchers, is paying gig workers in India to wear camera-equipped caps and sensor devices to collect the real-world physical training data that AI and robotics labs are racing to acquire.

Experts warn that India’s evolving data protection laws leave loopholes around AI training using in-home recordings, raising privacy concerns.

As part of the partnership, Pixxel said it will design, build, launch, and operate the Pathfinder satellite while Sarvam will handle AI model training and inference.
