Amazon requires delivery drivers to sign 'biometric consent forms'

 

According to foreign media reports , Amazon delivery drivers in the United States must sign a "biometric consent form" this week, which mainly allows the company to use artificial intelligence-driven cameras to obtain drivers' location, movement and biometric data. If the company's approximately 75,000 delivery drivers in the United States refuse to sign these forms, they will lose their jobs.

 

The policy has come under scrutiny in Congress. Last month, five senators raised concerns about driver privacy in a letter to Amazon. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment .
