- VR headset used daily to teach robots tasks like cleaning and organizing.
- Job lacked technical growth opportunities in AI and data analysis.
A graduate recruited for an artificial intelligence position has found themselves training robots for household tasks, a role significantly different from their job description. This tech professional, hired for an AI/Data Analyst role, was instead required to wear a VR headset for extended periods, performing physical chores like cleaning and organizing to teach robots.
The graduate expressed disappointment, noting the absence of opportunities for technical advancement in AI or data analysis. The role's focus on VR-based robot training did not align with their career aspirations in the IT sector. This situation has created personal pressure, as the graduate has already informed family and friends about securing employment in Bengaluru.
Online discussions have seen users express sympathy and offer advice, suggesting the graduate update their resume and actively seek new job opportunities. Some recommended focusing on technical skill development while others advised understanding the underlying business model of the data labeling work.
