🔥Remote operators with Indian accents are controlling robot dogs in the US

In Atlanta, a police officer on an evening patrol encountered a robot dog that calmly informed her it was patrolling the neighborhood. The voice came with a distinct Indian accent, suggesting the robot was being remotely operated by an overseas worker.

The most likely explanation is that private security firms are outsourcing robot monitoring and control to operators in India, turning autonomous-looking patrols into a form of global remote labor rather than fully independent AI.
