Electrical apprentice Jimmy Urquhart receives an extra $3 per hour to wear smart glasses on construction sites, with the footage used to develop robots for dangerous roles like working with gas or asbestos. Unions are pushing the government to introduce legal protections as research suggests 80% of job tasks are exposed to automation, with chefs, mechanics, warehouse workers and taxi drivers most at risk.
