Amazon delivery drivers have to consent to AI surveillance in their vans or lose their jobs

亚马逊的送货司机必须同意在他们货车上安装人工智能监控,否则就会丢掉工作

Amazon is well-known for its technological Taylorism: using digital sensors to monitor and control the activity of its workers in the name of efficiency. But after installing machine learning-powered surveillance cameras in its delivery vans earlier this year, the company is now telling employees: agree to be surveilled by AI or lose your job.

亚马逊以其技术Taylorism(泰勒主义)而闻名:以效率的名义,使用数字传感器监测和控制员工的活动。但在今年早些时候运货车上安装了机器学习驱动的监控摄像头后,该公司现在告诉员工:必须同意接受人工智能监控,否则就会丢掉工作。

As first reported by Vice, Amazon delivery drivers in the US now have to sign “consent” forms to continue working for the retailing giant.

Vice最先报道称,美国的亚马逊送货司机现在必须签署“同意书”才能继续为这个零售巨头工作。

The data that drivers must consent to be collected includes photographs used to verify their identity; vehicle location and movements (including “miles driven, speed, acceleration, braking, turns, following distance”); “potential traffic violations” (like speeding, failure to stop at stop signs, and undone seatbelts); and “potentially risky driver behavior, such as distracted driving or drowsy driving.”

司机必须同意收集的数据包括,用于验证其身份的照片;车辆的位置和运动(包括“行驶里程、速度、加速度、刹车、转弯、行车间距”);“潜在的交通违章”(比如超速、没有在停车标志前停车、松开安全带);以及“潜在危险的驾驶行为,比如分心驾驶或瞌睡驾驶。”

I am currently in the process of leaving my position as an amazon delivery driver. This is the straw that’s broken the camels back. We already have a separate monitoring system app that is required to drive. It monitors speed, seatbelt, g forces, etc...I was ok with it even though it’s scores are fairly ambiguous. Amazon claims this is in the name of safety but is clearly a new form of control and a new way to screw the third party company’s out of money. I think most drivers technically are contractors. My station at least only has third party driver company’s. The way I see it is this allows Amazon to pass every last buck off to us. This is where these cameras are going to screw us drivers. Amazon knows their app is fucked and they know we have to use the phone while driving to be successful so the AI camera is going to recognize the phone manipulation while driving and write infractions on the drivers. We won’t get fired over them but they’ll cost the third party company’s money.

我目前正打算离开我在亚马逊快递员的职位。这是压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草。我们已经需要安装一个单独的监控系统应用程序了。它可以监控速度、安全带、重量等。尽管它的监测数据相当模糊,但我对它还算满意。亚马逊声称这是以安全的名义安装的,但显然这是一种新的控制形式,一种榨干第三方公司资金的新方式。我认为大多数司机都是承包商。至少在我的站只有第三方公司的司机。在我看来,这种方式让亚马逊可以把每一分钱的成本都转移给我们。这些摄像头会在这里毁了我们这些司机。亚马逊知道他们的应用程序是骗人的,他们知道我们必须在开车时使用手机,所以人工智能摄像头将识别司机开车时的手机操作,并记录司机身上的违规行为。我们不会因为他们而被解雇,但他们会让第三方公司付出代价。

I used to deliver, but not for Amazon. If you can’t eat in your van between stops, when the fuck are you supposed to eat?

我以前是送货员,但不是亚马逊的送货员。如果停站期间你都不能在车里吃东西,那你他妈的什么时候才能吃?

Jesus I want to stop ordering shit off Amazon but it’s like boycotting Wal Mart, what fucking difference does it make

天啊,我不想再在亚马逊上买东西了,但这就像抵制沃尔玛一样,有什么区别

I haven’t been to Walmart in over 5 years. It feels amazing.

我已经5年没去过沃尔玛了,感觉不可思议。

toolisthebestbandevr
I haven’t bought anything from Amazon since I worked for them. Pretty easy.

自从我在亚马逊工作以来,我就没有在那里买过任何东西。非常容易。

red_fist
Been about 14 months for me. I felt the people of Walmart experience was just too dangerous when they are also an infection risk.

我已经14个月没去沃尔玛买东西了。我觉得在沃尔玛工作的人太危险了,因为他们也有感染的风险。

I stopped almost 3 years ago I just buy stuff off eBay which was working great till the posts system got hamstringed by politics and the virus. Now I wait a week or more to get stuff that has tracking placing literally 3 miles from me but I’ve held firm.

我差不多3年前就停止在亚马逊买东西了,我只是从eBay上买东西,eBay一直运行得很好,直到邮政系统被政治和病毒搞垮。而现在我等了一个星期或者更多的时间来得到那些距离我只有3英里远的东西,但是我还是坚持住了。

discoderpin
I wish I could afford not to, in most cases amazon is a good 10% cheaper than retail stores.

我希望我能负担得起,在大多数情况下,亚马逊比零售店便宜10%。

We’re getting these exact cameras in our semis. Just yet another form of micro management in the name of “safety”.

我们在车里装了一模一样的摄像头。这只是打着“安全”的幌子的另一种微观管理形式。

Chef_Fats
We’ve already got them. In the last three weeks I’ve been told to ‘buckle seatbelt’ roughly a thousand times.

我们已经装上了摄像头。在过去的三周里,我被要求“系好安全带”的次数已经有一千次了。

CmdDeadHand
It is the run up to automated delivery vehicles. The cameras watch the drivers and the roads, data is being collected, the ai is learning.

这是自动运送车辆的一个发展阶段。摄像头监视司机和道路,收集数据,人工智能正在学习。

EBone12355
People who work retail and fast food cash registers have cameras pointed down on them to watch that money isn’t taken from the register. This has been going on forever.

在零售和快餐收银台工作的人都有摄像头对着他们,以确保钱不会从收银台被拿走。这种情况一直在持续。

It’s not really coerced, what? It’s a condition for the job. Are public accounting firms coercing their coworkers into not investing in their clients? If you don’t like it, get another job. That’s hardly a threat. The company you work for makes the terms and you’re free to leave whenever you feel those terms are unacceptable.

这不是强制的,什么?这是做这份工作的必要条件。公共会计师事务所是否在强迫他们的同事不为他们的客户投资?如果你不喜欢,那就换一份工作。那算不上威胁。你所工作的公司有这些条款,如果你觉得这些条款不能接受,你可以随时离开。

Platoribs
Wtf are you about. It’s a JOB. They aren’t forcing them to work there.

你在搞什么鬼。这是一份工作。他们并没有强迫他们在那里工作。

As much as you may want to bash Amazon it will become industry standard for several reasons; it can alx drivers if they are swerving, nodding off, speeding, etc. It does help reduce insurance as you now have footage of a incident. It can also help with coaching drivers.

尽管你可能想抨击亚马逊,但它将成为行业标准,原因有几个;它可以在司机转弯、打瞌睡、超速等情况下提醒司机。它确实有助于减少保险,因为你现在有一个事故的录像。它也可以帮助给司机导航。

Yes, your argument is correct, here is the problem:
A very very safe society would be one that would monitor your every move and punish you for doing something negative to that society, heck it could even predict your next move and prohibit you from doing it further enhancing safety of the mass.
Would you be ok to live in that world? I think a lot about this, because if our main goal is safety how else can you achieve it?

是的,你的观点是正确的,问题是:
一个非常安全的社会会监视你的一举一动如果你做了对社会不利的事就会惩罚你,它甚至可以预测你的下一步行动并禁止你这样做以进一步提高大众的安全。
你愿意生活在那样的世界里吗?关于这个我想了很多,因为如果我们的主要目标是安全那你还能有别的什么办法实现它呢?

woodala
Amazon drivers are generally unsafe and untrained even if Amazon is ‘watching’ them.

亚马逊的司机通常都是不安全且未经训练的,即使亚马逊在“监视”他们。

I work at a grocery store and at all times around product, especially by the registers, they have cameras. Specifically at the registers every item is tracked by an AI from multiple angles. I think it’s standard practice around large amounts of products, although it is a bit invasive

我在一家杂货店工作,在商品周围,尤其是收银台旁边,他们都有摄像头。特别是在收银台,AI会从多个角度跟踪每件物品。我认为这是很多产品的标准做法,虽然有点侵犯性

Anthlenv
A lot of transit companies are installing these too. My company ID trying to get to unx to allow it. We can't really stop it but we can limit its use. Amazon guys have no unx to protect them.

很多运输公司也在安装这些。我的公司正试图得到工会的许可。我们不能真正阻止它,但我们可以限制它的使用。亚马逊的员工没有工会来保护他们。

JustlixStudios
There has to be a lot more to these decisions Amazon are making. Surely they can’t just be this horrible to their employees? I mean legally is it even possible? They must be implementing these things due to issues. I’ve met a lot of Amazon couriers through my job and a surprising amount of them admit to parcel theft.

亚马逊做出的这些决定肯定还有更多的意义。他们肯定不会对员工这么恶劣吧?我是说,从法律上讲,这可能吗?他们肯定是由于一些问题而实施这些措施的。在我的工作中,我见过很多亚马逊快递员,他们承认偷窃包裹的人多得令人吃惊。

o0flatCircle0o
If they had a unx, Amazon wouldn’t be able to do things like this.

如果他们有工会,亚马逊就不能做这样的事情。

andyred1960
It would be great if people would just stop buying from bezos (Lex Luthor) there are alternatives.

如果人们不再从贝佐斯那里购买,那就太好了——还有其他选择。

This is a violation of their human rights, how the fuck is this allowed?

这是对他们人权的侵犯,这他妈的怎么能被允许呢?

PrinceG_
Could someone please explain to me, what makes this Jeff’s fault? I could’ve sworn I read a while back that he stepped down as CEO of amazon, so isn’t this the doing of someone else? Unless this all took place before he stepped down. Either way, I’m not supporting Jeff, fuck that guy.

谁能给我解释一下,这是杰夫的错吗? 我发誓,我之前读到过他辞去亚马逊CEO一职的消息,这难道不是别人干的吗? 除非这一切都发生在他下台之前。但不管怎样,我都不支持杰夫,去他的。

reallybigstinkyguy
Don’t buy anything from Amazon if you don’t like them

如果你不喜欢亚马逊上的东西,那就不要买

Juniorbaconcheese18
As much as I wish it isn’t true, there really isn’t anything to see here if they aren’t unxized. There’s no law saying they can’t track you or watch you when you are at work. Unless you organize as workers and make a set of rules and are willing to walk away, you are at their mercy

尽管我希望这不是真的,但如果他们不成立工会,真的也没什么可期待的了。没有法律规定他们不能在你工作时跟踪或监视你。除非你把工人一起组织起来,制定一套规则,并且愿意离开这个公司,否则你就只能听任他们摆布了

Good. What's the problem with this? It's no different to your boss looking around the office and noticing if some people look tired or are slacking. Looks like people just want something to be angry about.

很好,这有什么问题吗?这与你的老板环顾办公室四周,注意到是否有人看上去很疲倦或在偷懒没什么区别。看来人们只是想找点事发泄一下。

briankwest
Any business with a fleet does this, it’s for insurance and liability protection, one of my cars was hit, without the dash cam the other party wouldn’t have been held 100% responsible, once I submitted the camera footage they paid no questions asked.

任何有车队的公司都会这么做,这是为了保险和责任保护,我的一辆车被撞了,没有车载摄像头另一方就不会承担100%的责任,一旦我提交了摄像视频他们就会付钱,不会问任何问题。

This is what freedom in America means. Wake up folks corporations have all the rights.

这就是自由在美国的意义。醒醒吧,伙计们,公司拥有所有的权利。

OrangutanMan234
You know if all of amazon was unxized you could bargain this right out of the contract.

你要知道,如果亚马逊所有的人都加入了工会,你就可以在合同之外讨价还价。

papineau150
I think most people here are missing an aspect of the issue. The AI is not really there to "enforce" drivers to be better (although that is one aspect). Many (most?) companies use camera's, apps, and other technology to monitor performance. The AI is there to LEARN how to do the humans job.

我认为这里的大多数人都忽略了这个问题的一个方面。AI的存在并不是为了“强制”驾驶员变得更好(尽管这只是一个方面)。许多(大多数)公司使用摄像头、应用程序和其他技术来监控汽车的性能。人工智能的目的是学习如何做人类的工作。

Waste-Buffalo5012
If vans are part of the company’s property, I don’t see the problem of this going on. Just as they have cameras in other assets (plants) they can have cameras in these assets (vans).

如果货车是公司财产的一部分,我不认为这有什么问题。就像他们在其他资产(工厂)中拥有摄像头一样,他们也可以在这些资产(货车)中拥有摄像头。

Eggplant-Longjumping
Y’all need to stop using Amazon for anything you possibly can. Shop in stores, order your shit to pick up curbside, order from other companies if you absolutely need online shopping ,Amazon is rapidly becoming a monopoly, and they’re killing so many businesses that will treat you and their employees better. Fuck Amazon.

你们都需要停止使用亚马逊的任何东西。请在商店里购物,在路边购买你的东西,如果你一定需要网上购物,请从其他公司订购,亚马逊正在迅速成为一个垄断企业,他们正在扼杀很多对你和他们的员工更好的企业。去他妈的亚马逊。

I was a delivery driver for like 6 weeks, it was far too stressful and it was pretty physically demanding as well. On top of the fact if I wanted a chance to finish a route on time I couldn’t take a lunch or a bathroom break. I quit just before the cameras were installed, but I did manage to sign electronically, but it didn’t go into effect until I returned from my week off. It’s a simple job but very demanding, I’m returning back to Home Depot, who doesn’t have a unx either, but takes a much better initiative in supplying their employees with decent benefits and a suitable enough working environment. I complained a fuck ton about delivering and how much more invasive the changes Amazon were making to make our jobs even harder to complete. I wouldn’t recommend working for Amazon, burn out accumulates pretty fast there.

我做了6周的快递员,压力太大了,而且对体力的要求也很高。最重要的是,如果我想有机会按时完成一条路线,我就不能吃午饭或上厕所。就在摄像头安装之前我辞职了,但我还是签了电子签名,直到我休假一周回来才生效。这是一份简单但要求很高的工作,我要回到家得宝,这家公司也没有工会,但会更主动地为员工提供体面的福利和足够舒适的工作环境。我抱怨了一大堆关于送货的问题,还有亚马逊正在进行的更具侵略性的改变,这让我们的工作更难完成。我不推荐在亚马逊工作,在那里会很快耗尽精力。

unipolarsnowhobit
Why the fuck is anyone still pretending AI isn’t going to surpass us soon? Same with robots that can do trade/office work.

为什么有人还在假装认为人工智能不会很快超越我们?机器人也可以从事贸易/办公室的工作。

HappyPumpkinking
Amazon does not see its employees as humans. Amazon sees its self as a money generating machine with workers as inefficient parts to be run at top speed until they break. Then they easily and cheaply get replaced.
Amazon is a out of control slave labor camp that the ruling powers make a fortune on investing in their stock. The only way Amazon can be stopped before it is the world’s supplier of everything is with the masses taking action and driving down its value via non use.

亚马逊并不把员工视为人类。亚马逊将自己视为一台赚钱机器,而工人则是效率低下的部件,以最快的速度运转,直到崩溃。这样就可以很容易、很便宜地更换了。
亚马逊是一个失控的奴隶劳动营,统治力量通过投资他们的股票来赚钱。在亚马逊成为世界上一切产品的供应商之前,唯一能阻止它的方法就是让大众采取行动,通过不使用亚马逊来降低它的价值。

Just quit working for a company that had these AI cameras. Worst thing ever, all the techs tried to cover it up.

不要再为一家有人工智能摄像头的公司工作了。最糟糕的是,所有的技术人员都试图掩盖这个问题。

Can’t wait till I get called into the office to explain why I was taking a piss into a plastic bag in the back of my vehicle! Hope it’s all on video as it would open a whole can of worms. There are no public toilets on my suburban route so no trees to hide behind to pee. Not allowed to enter residential premises it’s difficult to get my body to arrange it’s need to piss around the businesses where I could use the toilet. I’m I’m already monitored in relation to seatbelt use, speed, acceleration, engine revs etc. If my company put a camera in my ban facing me there’s not a lot I can do about it but I would consider it an invasion of privacy. Can I turn it off in my lunch break? Am I allowed access to the footage in case of an accident where I have to take legal action myself?
Our society is becoming the most surveillance oriented it has ever been and I cannot see that changing and I don’t think it’s for the best

我等不及想要被叫到办公室去,解释我为什么往车后座的塑料袋里撒尿了!希望这一切都录下来,否则会惹出一大堆麻烦。在我的郊区路线上没有公共厕所,也没有树可以躲在后面撒尿。也不允许进入住宅,这样很难控制住我的身体,我需要在周围撒尿,因为我不能在厕所里撒尿。我已经被监控是否戴安全带,汽车速度,汽车加速,包括引擎转速等等也被监控。如果我的公司在我面前放了一个摄像头,我也无能为力,但我会认为这是侵犯隐私。我午休的时候能把它关了吗? 如果发生事故,我必须自己采取法律行动,那我可以使用这些录像吗?
我们的社会正变得前所未有的以监视作为导向,我认为这种情况不会改变,但我不认为这是最好的方式

aussie222
Seems like this constant surveillance, wether at Amazon or just in the public at large, is always wrapped in this idea of increased “safety”. I don’t feel safer.

看来这种持续的监视,无论是在亚马逊还是在公众中,总是被一种强化“安全性”的理念所包裹,我并不觉得更安全。

Windpuppet
The world is becoming more dystopian every day, and I really wonder what life will be like in 10 years.

世界正变得越来越反乌托邦,我真的很想知道10年后生活会是什么样子。

whitesquare
It’s shit like this that makes it so I would never look at working for Amazon. Jeff Bezos wants to monitor your every movement and even sniff your pee to make sure it’s clean enough to work in the Jungle.

就是因为这种烂事,我才不会考虑去亚马逊工作。杰夫·贝佐斯想要监视你的每一个动作,甚至闻一闻你的尿液,以确保它足够干净,并适合在亚马逊中工作。
