Just like how workplace software analyze white-collar work, such as this Microsoft product [1] (and many of those "bossware" which we saw during Covid), I don't see how this tool is any different but from a manual labor analysis standpoint? Their marketing might have been off, but I mean as long as the camera recordings are securely stored, what could be the issue? This solution is more like an automatic supervisor, and this could help as it could heavily reduce the need for supervisor roles (which also can come with biases and potential workplace-politics), and thus directly increase salaries for the workers actually performing the manual assembly. Also, there are already cameras in assemblies for monitoring the environment and also modern solutions to analyze workers and worker safety such as Invisible AI [2] and Rolloos [3].

- rajnathani 2y agoUpdate: I just saw the part where the founder in the video refers to the person as "Number 17", this is pretty low even considering they might have wanted to anonymize a person's "John Doe" name for the example. I don't think such empathy-lacking individuals deserve any serious funding to build this out.
