AI Torture, Fighting Back, IBT & Using AI To Fight The Bosses

by LVP
WorkWeek covers the role of inward AI inferred cameras in truck cabs and what this means to millions of workers. They have been installed in trucks throughout the country and they are causing tumors and cataracts for many truckers who are under these cameras for up to 60 hours a week. WorkWeek also looks at how AI is being used by workers to fight back against bosses.

The introduction of AI forward facing inferred cameras on trucks at UPS, Amazon and nearly every trucking company in the US has been done without any regulation or oversight of the effect of these cameras on the truckers in the US.
Teamsters have been working to investigate what these cameras are doing and how they are being used. IBT 100 Teamster Wayne Atkins from Cincinnati, Ohio has been investigating these cameras and how they are used. Also Teamsters talk about their struggle to get them removed from the trucks.

Part of the war on workers is the use of AI inferred inward facing cameras on IBT UPS truck drivers for up to 60 hours a week but according to IBT UPS workers the IBT leadership are working with UPS bosses to keep the cameras in the truck cabs despite the dangers.

UPS is covering up the tumors an cataracts that their UPS truck drivers are getting as a result of the AI inferred cameras that have been installed in their truck cabs. They are also using these cameras to train them to eliminate all truck drivers.

UPS and other trucking companies are using AI inferred cameras to train AI to replace millions of truck drivers. In California labor supported Governor Gavin Newsom and his DMV are allowing these trucks to go on the highways soon despite the dangers. Despite protests from the Teamsters he vetoed a bill twice that would have required drivers for trucks over 10,000 lbs. Cal-OSHA is also refusing to investigate the dangers of forward facing inferred cameras being use in the cabins of trucks in California that are causing cataracts and tumors.
