Digital rights groups have filed complaints across Europe accusing San Francisco-based ScaleAI of breaching EU laws by operating a platform that surveils gig workers. The complaints target the company's data labelling and annotation workforce practices, alleging systematic monitoring of workers. The filings are expected to prompt scrutiny from European data protection regulators.
Why now: Regulators and campaigners are focused on AI companies' treatment of gig workers, and these coordinated complaints put ScaleAI under legal pressure in multiple EU jurisdictions at once.
