Follow the story of Alex Rivera, a warehouse worker whose performance metrics suddenly plummeted after his company implemented an AI management system. Through his experience, we uncover how algorithmic management systems are reshaping workplace surveillance, productivity tracking, and employee evaluation. Former Silicon Valley engineer turned whistleblower Patricia Yang explains how these systems can be manipulated to justify layoffs, while labor rights attorney Michael Foster discusses emerging legal frameworks for algorithmic workplace rights.
