> Uber drivers from the UK, the Netherlands and elsewhere have filed a collective case at an Amsterdam court, alleging the company’s AI system unlawfully uses their data to set personalised pay and allocate jobs while depressing earnings. The claim covers about 241,000 EU and UK drivers and could seek billions in compensation.
