Optifye.ai, a Y Combinator-backed startup founded by Duke University students, introduces AI-powered surveillance system for monitoring factory workers' productivity through machine vision tracking. The system allows supervisors to monitor workers' hand movements and efficiency metrics in real-time, raising concerns about worker privacy and workplace conditions. Y Combinator has since removed promotional posts about the company's launch.
