Working for an Algorithm

This event took place on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at 11:30 AM UTC.

Getting food delivered or a ride to the airport with a press of a button has become the norm over the last several years. But what's it like to actually work for an app? Millions of people now work as Uber and Lyft drivers, DoorDash and Instacart couriers, and Amazon Flex delivery people, and with that comes the complications of calling an algorithm your “boss.” Join The Markup’s Dara Kerr for a discussion of the issues alongside Emily Guendelsberger, author of On the Clock, Hastings College of the Law at the University of California's Veena Dubal, and Gig Workers Collective's Willy Solis. Venue: JW Marriott, Salon GH Veena Dubal, Emily Guendelsberger, Dara Kerr, Willy Solis
