    In den meisten Fällen wissen Fahrerinnen und Fahrer nicht einmal, welche Daten genau über sie erhoben werden»

    Den Menschen, die solche Bestellungen durchführen, ist es nicht mal ansatzweise bewusst, dass da Unmengen an Daten gesammelt wird - meistens ist es ihnen einfach nur egal.

  4. Opaque Automated Nightmares

    * "Greens senator accuses Labor of backing gas industry and billionaires over ‘disabled people and our families’. Steele-John says:"

    "Shame on you. You betray not only this community, but the national character. You will be condemned by history. The blood and the lives of those who will suffer and die will be on your hands, and will live in your consciences forever."

    "And come the next election, we will consider what to do with our votes, and we will remember, who backed us up, who fought our corner in this moment, and who decided to turn away … We will ensure that every single life, every single cooked decision. Every single automated nightmare, created by this bill, is laid directly at your door." >>

    * Inside the aged care algorithm deciding support for older Australians

    "The last time 96-year-old Audrey Staniland was assessed for in-home aged care funding was with a human clinician more than a decade ago...A "classification algorithm" would be deciding the outcome, with the clinician unable to change it."

    "The algorithm was introduced by the government to ensure consistent funding because it said some assessors were over-funding elderly people, leading to a surplus of $4 billion in unspent funds."

    "Private consultants designed the original algorithm, but the version used today was finalised and validated by public servants in the Department of Health and Ageing."

    "...At Senate estimates, under questioning by the Coalition, Greens and independent senator David Pocock, the department admitted there had been no live trial of the final algorithm and it was unable to name any expert clinicians who validated it." >>
