A video shared by Harsh Goenka shows a barber wearing an “AI suit” equipped with motion-capture technology while cutting hair. The footage is presented as part of a system that records detailed hand and grooming movements, which can then be used to train AI or related automation tools.
Both outlets describe the incident as raising questions about how quickly such technologies are being integrated and what they could mean for traditional services. Times of India highlights concerns including whether workers could face job displacement and whether participants should receive fair compensation for their involvement. NDTV focuses more narrowly on the demonstration itself, characterizing it as an AI learning setup that analyses the barber’s actions. The discussion across sources centers on the potential impact on barbers’ livelihoods, with some framing the risk of job loss while others treat the technology as part of a broader shift that could also change how grooming tasks are performed.
