@yersocialistdad A remote worker was fired after her employer demanded webcam photos every 3 minutes while she worked from home.

Her lawsuit says an AI tool called Sentinel AI would photograph her face about 160 times a day, inside her own house, and run facial recognition on every shot.

More background Rather than licensing Sentinel AI, Sutherland built the software itself, later patented it, and now sells it to other businesses, according to The Unraveling.

The same press release said Sentinel AI reduces the time supervisors spend monitoring employees by as much as 90%, with "millions of dollars saved."

Because Sutherland markets Sentinel AI beyond its own workforce, the case could help test the limits of employer use of facial-recognition monitoring inside home workspaces.
