Amazon reportedly uses AI to monitor union activity in UK warehouses

Original: Amazon uses AI to monitor union risk in UK warehouses

openDemocracy reports that Amazon uses artificial intelligence to monitor the risk of union activity in its UK warehouses, including sites around Birmingham and Coventry. The system reportedly assesses workers' likelihood of organising. The claim has drawn attention because of concerns over workplace surveillance and workers' rights to organise, prompting criticism from labour advocates and calls for scrutiny of the company's monitoring practices.

Why now: Concerns about workplace surveillance and workers' right to organise at one of the world's largest employers are fuelling debate.
