OECD survey finds wider use of worker-sanction software in US firms

OECD survey finds wider use of worker-sanction software in US firms Image: Primary

It found US firms were also more likely to monitor conversation content and tone. The OECD attributed differences in use to regulatory architecture and warned that many algorithmic-management tools are not AI, leaving them outside AI-specific rules.
