Uber drivers from the UK, Netherlands, and other European countries have launched a class action lawsuit against Uber, claiming its AI-driven pay-setting algorithm breaches privacy laws and unfairly lowers their earnings. The lawsuit, filed in Amsterdam, alleges that Uber's opaque system personalizes pay rates based on driver data, pushing fares down to minimum acceptable levels and exploiting drivers' vulnerabilities. The case seeks damages and an injunction to stop the use of automated decision-making that violates GDPR. Uber denies the claims, stating its pricing is based on trip details, not driver behavior, while drivers report significant income losses and constant monitoring by the algorithm.
