Rural India powers global AI models
Bengaluru: Tending crops by day and then logging on for a night shift of data labelling, 27-year-old Chandmani Kerketta is part of a rising rural Indian workforce helping power an artificial intelligence revolution.
From her home in India’s eastern Jharkhand state, Kerketta is part of an AI-driven labour shift that the government hopes will transform lives, including by bringing more women into the workforce.
The work is basic but essential for machine learning: data labelling, annotation and quality checks.
