Five senators, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, ask Amazon about its use of AI-equipped cameras
Recently, a group of five US senators, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, have written a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos asking for more information about the company’s use of AI-equipped cameras to monitor its delivery drivers. This letter was prompted by a report that was published in February, which raised concerns about the impact of the cameras on the privacy and safety of Amazon’s drivers.
The use of AI-equipped cameras is not new for Amazon. The company has been deploying these cameras in its delivery vans for several years to monitor driver safety and ensure compliance with company policies. However, the recent report has brought to light some concerns about the impact of these cameras on driver privacy.
According to the report, the cameras can monitor drivers’ movements and collect data on their location, speed, and even the number of times they yawn or scratch their face. The report also raised concerns about the lack of transparency around the use of this technology and the potential for the data collected to be used for purposes beyond driver safety.
In their letter to Jeff Bezos, the senators are seeking more information about the specific use of the cameras, including what data is collected and how it is being used. They are also asking for clarification on the company’s policies regarding the use of this technology and what measures are in place to protect drivers’ privacy.
This is not the first time that Amazon’s use of AI technology has come under scrutiny. In 2018, the company faced criticism over its use of facial recognition technology, which raised concerns about the potential for discrimination and the violation of individuals’ privacy rights. Amazon eventually announced a one-year moratorium on the use of its facial recognition technology in law enforcement.
The use of AI in the workplace is becoming increasingly common, with many companies using it to monitor employee productivity and behavior. While these technologies can have benefits, such as improving safety and efficiency, they also raise concerns about privacy and the potential for abuse.
As technology continues to advance, it is important for companies to be transparent about their use of AI and to ensure that they are protecting the privacy rights of their employees. The letter from the five senators is an important step in holding Amazon accountable for its use of AI-equipped cameras and ensuring that the company is taking appropriate measures to protect its drivers’ privacy.
