Uber, amendă record de 825 milioane € din cauza algoritmilor

The Dutch Data Protection Authority fined Uber €825 million for automating driver account suspensions without human oversight, violating GDPR regulations. This penalty is the second largest in Europe for GDPR breaches, following Meta's €1.2 billion fine. The investigation revealed that Uber's automated systems made significant decisions affecting drivers' incomes without proper human evaluation. Uber contests the allegations, claiming it has human verification processes in place and considers the fine excessive. This case sets a crucial precedent for companies using AI in employee management, highlighting the need for human oversight in significant decision-making.
