Uber Eats Courier Wins Settlement Over Racial Discrimination

A recent case involving a Black Uber Eats bike courier, Pa Edrissa Manjang, who faced racial discrimination due to facial recognition checks and received a settlement from Uber. The use of facial recognition checks resulted in Manjang being unable to access the Uber Eats app, causing him to lose job opportunities. The case raises concerns about the lack of transparency and rushed implementation of automated systems, which can lead to biased outcomes. It also highlights the need for stronger enforcement of existing laws and the implementation of dedicated AI safety legislation to address AI bias and protect against discrimination and human rights abuses. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message
