AI lab HUMXN is offering to subsidize plumbing, electrical, HVAC, air-duct cleaning and carpet-cleaning work for homeowners in three cities. In exchange, it wants workers to use wearable recording technology while doing the job inside the home, so HUMXN can gather data to train robots.
The source does not name the cities or explain what the recordings capture, how they will be stored, or who can access them. It also does not give details about eligibility or how homeowners can take part.
Why it matters
Homeowners in the participating cities may be able to get covered work at no cost, but the source leaves the recording and privacy terms unclear.
