Uber drivers launch European class action over AI pay algorithm

Drivers from the UK, Netherlands, and other countries have filed a landmark class action against Uber, alleging its AI-driven pay-setting system breaches data protection laws and suppresses earnings. The claim, potentially worth billions, centers on the algorithm's opaque and 'soulless' nature, which drivers say creates constant fear and unfair pay. This marks a significant legal challenge to algorithmic management in the gig economy, with implications for platform labor practices across Europe.
