OpenAI's aggressive push into the enterprise, where it competes with Anthropic, coincides with efforts by Apple and Google to bring advanced AI to consumers.
With a smartphone strapped to her head, Indian housewife Nagireddy Sriramyachandra films herself slicing mangoes to train AI-powered robots to take on household jobs in the future. Earning just over two dollars for an hour of video, her mundane recordings are invaluable for global tech companies teaching machines how to move like humans in the real world. The 25-year-old is one of a growing army of thousands of AI system trainers in the world’s most populous country. “Who else will give you 250 rupees an hour just for doing housework?” said Sriramyachandra from her kitchen in Chennai in southern India’s Tamil Nadu state. “I may get a robot myself in the future,” she added. This photograph taken on May 15, 2026 shows an Indian housewife Nagireddy Sriramyachandra wearing a smartphone on her head as she records her actions through motion capture while slicing mangoes at her home in Chennai. — AFP Artificial intelligence chatbots and image generators crunch reams of digital data, but building systems to navigate real-life environments is more challenging. Developers think feeding first-person footage, called “egocentric data”, into specialised AI models will help robots copy humans. Some AI trainers work at home, others in factories or specialised studios — using video glasses, head-mounted cameras and motion sensors. “It blares ‘hands not detected’ when I’m not recording properly,” said Sriramyachandra, who sends recordings via a special app to the AI data company Objectways. This photograph taken on May 13, 2026 shows a worker (R) wearing a RGB camera on her head recording actions through motion capture while arranging colored blocks at AI data company Objectways’ office in Tamil Nadu’s Karur district. — AFP The firm, which has offices in India and the United States, lists Fortune 500 multinationals as clients. It works with Amazon SageMaker, a platform for machine learning models. ‘Better things’ The humanoid robot market is booming, with investment bank Morgan Stanley predicting there could be over a billion in use by 2050, mostly for industrial and commercial purposes. “Folding clothes, coffee making… cooking a very specific thing, sandwich making,” Objectways head Ravi Shankar said, listing videos requested by clients. “Some jobs are supposed to be taken over, so humans can go and do better things.” In India, the emerging field of spatial AI is providing new employment — for now. This photograph taken on May 13, 2026 shows a worker wearing a GoPro camera on his head recording actions through motion capture while folding towels inside a model bathroom at AI data company Objectways’ office in Tamil Nadu’s Karur district. — AFP The 50-year-old CEO is US-based, but hires workers from Tamil Nadu, where he grew up, one of India’s international technology hubs. At a Karur textile factory, busy with workers attaching labels to caps and ironing cloth bags, AFP saw eight people wearing head cameras and smart glasses supplied by Objectways. India has positioned itself as a global middleman for the creation, processing and annotation of AI data. “It’s likely that these data collection services will increase”, said digital labour expert Aditi Surie, from the Indian Institute for Human Settlements in Bengaluru. Informal workers India is aggressively developing its AI industry, but its leaders are aware that, alongside the technology’s much-hyped benefits, automation poses risks. Government think-tank NITI Aayog said that most discussions around artificial intelligence and labour “focus on white-collar professionals and predict an almost certain loss of jobs in the segment” without urgent action. “Little attention, if any, is paid to how AI can serve India’s 490 million informal workers, the very people who form the backbone of our economy,” it said in a report released ahead of a global AI summit in India this year. The think-tank has examined how the technology could help or harm dozens of professions — from cobblers to sewer cleaners, farmers to tea sellers. For the last decade, 55-year-old Ponni has sat on a roadside in Bengaluru, the city known as India’s Silicon Valley, making flower garlands. She, too, has been paid to have a phone strapped to her forehead. “The next generation… who might have to do work similar to mine — they will face a problem,” Ponni said. Always wearing a camera At an Objectways studio, AI system trainers film themselves performing household tasks in fake, fully furnished apartment rooms. After several thousand hours of filming, the wallpaper is changed to provide clients with variety. “Today I sit here, tomorrow I stand there,” said engineering graduate Rani N., 21, on a break from filming herself, once again, folding a towel. Each video lasts about four minutes, and she records around 90 a day — on nearly every conceivable spot on the bed. She says the job is “tolerable”, but feels like she’s always wearing a camera. This photograph taken on May 15, 2026 shows an Indian housewife Nagireddy Sriramyachandra wearing a smartphone on her head as she records her actions through motion capture while washing dishes at her home in Chennai. — AFP In other rooms, colleagues arranged pencil sharpeners, water bottles and crayons in patterns, recording with depth-sensor cameras. Qanat Consulting Services in Andhra Pradesh, an Objectways subcontractor, supplies about a dozen larger data firms with recordings. Some of its 2,000 contributors perform tasks with motion-sensor bands on their “wrists, hands and legs”, CEO Thaslim Pattan said. Manish Agarwal of Bengaluru-based Humyn Labs, not related to Objectways, records conversations as well as videos. Contributors discuss assigned topics — ranging from politics to entertainment — for clients wanting to process speech patterns. Agarwal denies that robots will steal jobs, believing that networks of humans and robots “will work together” one day, he said. “A welder in India could be managing a welder-robot in Prague,” he said.
While Silicon Valley continues pushing aggressively into large language models and consumer-facing AI products, many European companies are focused on applying AI to complex systems already embedded into everyday life.

At WWDC 2026, Apple's Craig Federighi called out OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI rivals for treating privacy as an afterthought—arguing most force users to actively opt out of data retention. Apple's counter is Private Cloud Compute, now expanded to Google Cloud for the first time, with verifiable, auditable guarantees that user data is never stored or accessed. It's Apple's most aggressive privacy-first AI argument yet.

Microsoft's AI chief, Mustafa Suleyman, revealed a strategic shift, prioritizing competition with Anthropic over rivals like Google and Meta. This focus stems from Anthropic's aggressive entry into enterprise software and coding tools, posing a direct threat to Microsoft's core business. Microsoft is now developing its own advanced AI models to counter this challenge and reduce reliance on OpenAI.
This sponsored article is brought to you by Black & Veatch. The biggest challenge facing utilities today isn’t what it seems. It’s not demand, even as load growth accelerates. It’s not extreme weather, even as “major events” become routine. It’s not cybersecurity, even as connections expand across the grid. The real challenge is this: Distribution systems were designed for a different reality. Long gone are the days of predictable demand, one-way power flow and isolated disruptions. At Black & Veatch, we see that leading utilities are no longer debating whether to modernize. They’re deciding how quickly they can do it, and how to do it at scale. Across grid modernization programs globally, three truths consistently emerge. They define what it takes to prepare the distribution system for what’s next: 1. Outage response is not a resilience strategy Resilience is being redefined in real time. A strategy centered on mobilizing crews and restoring service as quickly as possible is reactive, and increasingly insufficient. Resilience has to shift upstream into integrated system design. That starts with hardening. Stronger poles, undergrounding and structural upgrades all have a role, particularly in high-risk corridors. We’re also seeing meaningful gains from how the network is configured and how quickly it can respond without waiting on manual intervention. This is where distribution automation programs can change outcomes. Strategically placed reclosers, automated switches and fault indicators help contain disruptions before they spread. When combined with feeder reconfiguration and updated protection strategies, distribution automation investments allow utilities to set more aggressive recovery targets and achieve measurable reductions in outage duration and customer impact. 2. Future-readiness depends on DERs at scale Forecasting is less and less reliable. Only 19 percent of utilities report strong confidence in their ability to predict future load growth, according to the Black & Veatch 2025 Electric Report. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like solar, storage, EVs and behind-the-meter generation are exciting solutions; but they fundamentally change how the system operates. Power is no longer just delivered. It’s injected, stored and redirected in ways the system was never designed to manage. At scale, these challenges show up quickly — particularly on feeders where distributed generation is approaching or exceeding hosting capacity. Protection coordination becomes more difficult when fault current comes from multiple directions. Voltage becomes less predictable as generation fluctuates throughout the day. And planning models must now account for highly variable, location-specific behavior. Distribution modernization is fundamentally changing how the system is designed and operated so it can absorb disruption, manage bi-directional flows and respond in real time. Adapting to bi-directional power flow requires more than incremental updates. Leading utilities are responding by building flexibility into the system, moving beyond static assumptions toward dynamic hosting capacity and interconnection studies, planning that incorporates DER, EV adoption and localized load growth, and infrastructure aligned with the communications and control needed to manage it. 3. The edge must be intelligent, visible and secure As system stress and complexity increase, utilities need far greater visibility and control over the network. Historically, utilities relied on customer calls, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) at the substation level and field crews to understand what was happening on the system. That model doesn’t hold up. You can’t effectively manage a system you can’t see. Plus, the most critical events are increasingly happening beyond the substation — on feeders, laterals, and at the edge where DER and customer behavior are interacting with the grid. Grid-edge technologies have become essential. Sensors, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and automated switching provide the raw data and control needed to move from reactive to proactive operations. In more advanced deployments, utilities are creating centralized control environments that allow operators to see and manage the distribution system in near real time. That capability is enabled by: Advanced communications networks to form the backbone of real-time grid visibility Distribution Management System (DMS) and Outage Management System (OMS) to enable faster, more coordinated system response Analytics, AI and machine learning to improve situational awareness, anticipate system conditions, and support operational decision-making The same connectivity enabling this real-time visibility and control also introduces new vulnerabilities, blurring the line between physical and cyber risk, yet many utilities manage them separately. Only 22 percent have unified teams in place, even as threats continue to rise, including a 50 percent increase in substation attacks and growing exposure to malware and ransomware, according to the Black & Veatch 2025 Electric Report. Cybersecurity and resilient network design must be embedded into the architecture from the outset—not layered on after the fact. See what bolder vision looks like Distribution modernization is fundamentally changing how the system is designed and operated so it can absorb disruption, manage bi-directional flows and respond in real time. To learn about a successful program, check out Georgia Power’s recent grid modernization program. Black & Veatch partnered with the utility on large-scale infrastructure upgrades. The results? Outages are down 76 percent, restoration times have improved by more than 80 percent and communities across Georgia are powered by a grid built to meet the future head-on. When the state faced the most destructive storm in the company’s history, Hurricane Helene, Georgia Power deployed a rapid response team that utilized its “smart grid” and restored power to more than 1 million customers within days. A grid built to meet the future head-on—that’s the result of bolder vision.

Almost 50 per cent of young adults in six major economies think AI romantic companionship will improve human happiness through emotional support in the next decade, the results of a large survey suggested on Monday. The percentage dropped progressively across older age categories to just a quarter of people aged 55 and over, according to the research shared exclusively with AFP. Leaps in AI development have seen people turn to chatbots as confidants and lovers, while advancements in robotics are helping produce more sophisticated sex dolls — raising questions over the impact on human relationships. The survey of nearly 10,000 people across the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, Indonesia and Hong Kong provides a snapshot of this “rapidly changing moral landscape”, pollsters YouGov said. It also shows “a profound ideological split between Western and Asian markets”, with the latter seemingly more accepting of technologically enabled sex and romance. In terms of emotional support, 48pc of all respondents aged 18-24 and 47pc of 25 to 34-year-olds said they thought “AI intimacy companions” — a category ranging from chatbots to sex dolls — would improve human happiness in the next decade. When the same question was asked focusing on deeper connection and sexual wellbeing, the figures came in at 32pc and 38pc respectively. On both counts, older people were less optimistic. The psychological impact of chatbots on vulnerable people has been under scrutiny, with the deaths of several teenagers linked to AI use by their families. Geographic split YouGov and the media company that commissioned the research, Tokyo-based Star X Gen, told AFP they were surprised by the regional disparity. In Indonesia, 50pc of people — of all ages — said they thought AI companions would improve connection and sexual wellness. It was 34pc in Hong Kong and 24pc in Japan, declining to 20pc in the United States, 15pc in Germany and just 9pc in Britain. “While Western audiences largely view synthetic intimacy as a threat to authentic human closeness, Asian audiences appear increasingly ready to integrate AI into their personal and physical lives,” said YouGov’s Philippe Chan. While the use of AI chatbots for romance and sex is becoming more commonplace, their embodiment in robots or dolls is at a more nascent stage. Across all 9,912 respondents, only 17pc said they would consider using an “AI intimacy doll”, compared to 59pc who said they would not. Across the board, younger adults were more likely than older ones to consider using a doll — and in Japan and Germany, the number of younger people who would think about trying a doll was nearly double the national average. “While the global (general population) remains wary, the next generation is actively redefining the boundaries of companionship,” the report said. In Japan, over a third of younger adults said they believed AI dolls could provide a sense of love, outnumbering those who disagreed.
Shares of Indian IT companies, including heavyweights Infosys, Tech Mahindra, TCS and Persistent Systems jumped up to 5% on Monday as multiple tailwinds boosted investor sentiment, pushing the Nifty IT index up around 3% to emerge as the top sectoral gainer.The index rose to 29,905 in the morning trading hours of Monday, extending sharp gains for the second consecutive session. The index has now jumped nearly 4% over two days.The sharp surge in IT stocks comes after a significant decline earlier this year, following the launch of plug-ins for AI startup Anthropic's Claude Cowork agent, which could automate tasks across legal, sales, marketing, and data analysis. "We call it the ‘SaaSpocalypse,’ an apocalypse for software-as-a-service stocks," Bloomberg quoted Jeffrey Favuzza from the equity trading desk at Jefferies as saying.While doomsday prophets continue to debate the future of IT companies following fresh AI advancements, investors were quick to analyse the cheap valuations, leading to some pockets of buying. Nuvama, in its note, had highlighted that the IT sector is setting up for a powerful comeback, not a collapse after the brutal AI-driven selloff.“We see no existential threat from Gen-AI,” the brokerage writes, arguing that enterprises will still need a “system integrator” to customise plug-and-play AI and software tools for their highly complex, brownfield technology stacks and to take ownership when “the system fails at 2 am.”Also read: Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated! Why Nuvama is screaming buy on all top 10 IT stocksThe latest round of buying also comes ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting next month, which would be the first under Chair Kevin Warsh. US President Donald Trump had selected Warsh partly on expectations that he would support lower borrowing costs to stimulate economic growth. However, rising inflation raised questions over the possibility of lowering rates.Technical view on Nifty ITThe Nifty IT index has witnessed a strong rebound after taking support near its crucial support zone, indicating the possibility of a short-term recovery in the sector, Kunal Kamble, Senior Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza had said. “On the hourly time frame, the index is currently forming an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern. A decisive breakout is seen above the neckline of this pattern and has triggered further upside momentum in the index. Such a move is likely to positively impact heavyweight IT stocks that share a high correlation with the index, including Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and HCL Technologies,” he added.Technically, the analyst had suggested that if the index manages to sustain above the 29,650 mark, it may open the door for a further recovery towards the 31,280 zone in the near term. However, he added that the current price action appears to be a retracement within the broader trend rather than a complete trend reversal. Therefore, traders should approach the sector with a cautious outlook.“Aggressive or high-risk traders may consider short-term trading opportunities in select IT counters, provided the index maintains strength above key support levels. On the downside, a breach below 28,800 could once again invite selling pressure across the Nifty IT index and associated IT stocks, potentially weakening the ongoing recovery structure,” he said.IT stocksPersistent Systems shares were the top gainers on the Nifty IT index, jumping nearly 5%. Infosys shares followed, surging nearly 4%.
