MeitY Seeks Clarity From Home Services Platforms On Video Data Used For Physical AI Training

India's Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) has held consultations with home services platforms, including Pronto, Snabbit and Urban Company, over the collection of first-person video footage inside households for training physical AI systems. The discussion, chaired by IT Secretary S. Krishnan, focused on consent, data storage, privacy safeguards and the sharing of footage with third-party AI developers.

Pronto's Verified service has introduced worker-worn cameras to capture household tasks, while the ministry has sought detailed information about its data collection and handling practices. No new regulations have been announced so far, but the consultation highlights the growing importance of responsible data governance as Indian startups explore opportunities in physical AI and robotics.
