Indian Founders' AI startup for workplace surveillance sparks global outrage
A demo from Optifye.ai, a member of Y Combinator's current cohort, sparked global outrage after being termed as 'dystopian surveillance software for sweatshops'. Founders Kushal Mohta and Vivaan Baid's software helps factory owners know who's working and who isn't using AI-powered security cameras. Y Combinator shared a demo featuring the founders on social media but deleted it following outrage.
