🤖 Hey everyone!
My name is Artur Kiulian, I'm a serial entrepreneur, top AI writer on Medium and the author of Robot Is The Boss, the book about how to use Artificial Intelligence in Business.
And here's why I've decided to build this tool that tells your chances of having an algorithmic management 💡
Algo management is already in charge of important business decisions, planning and performance assessment in many on-demand mobility and delivery services that make up the so called gig economy.
In Deliveroo, a London-based food delivery company, most of the couriers’ actions are tightly controlled by algorithmic management. If a courier declines the order, strict algorithms would penalize them. Deliveroo’s algorithmic system carefully monitors a courier’s performance calculating his/her average “time to accept orders”, “travel time”, and “unassigned orders”. If the courier’s performance does not meet a service level agreement, he or she might be blocked in the system.
Similar algorithmic procedures are used in Uber, the world-leading mobility service that connects passengers and drivers. At Uber, once a driver is logged into the system he or she has 10–20 second to accept trip requests. If three trip requests are missed in a row, a driver is automatically logged out for several minutes. In the case of frequent violation of Uber algorithmic policies, the driver’s account may be deactivated.
🤷 And the thing is that while most of the people are worried about losing the job to a machine, in reality there are way higher chances of being managed by a machine.
While this is already happening, no one is paying enough attention to the economical and psychological implications of this change.
I've already had a round of great feedback after running PH upcoming page (thanks @nickabouzeid and @rrhoover) and would love hear your thoughts about the tool and see if it is useful to the wide audience.
