Synopsis
Racial bias in technology is highlighted by incidents such as Google Photos mislabeling a black couple as gorillas. Par, an Uber driver from The Gambia, faced algorithmic discrimination when his account was deactivated despite multiple identity verification attempts. This issue is not isolated; many ethnic minority drivers experience similar challenges. Following Uber's introduction of a new verification system in 2020, affected drivers, including Par, are pursuing legal action against the company, arguing that the algorithm perpetuates systemic inequalities in the gig economy.
