I saw a video of a coffee shop that is using AI cameras to monitor and quantify how many cups/hour each barista is producing. Therefore measuring staff ‘efficiency’ as an arbitrary value of how fast they can produce a commodity and therefore how ‘profitable’ they are. This totally dehumanises the worker and quite frankly is another step into dystopia…. All hail our new AI overlords – we are truly fucked aren’t we?
