Coles plans to deploy data company Palantir's tools across more than 840 supermarkets to cut costs and "redefine how we think about our workforce". At a time of increased food insecurity, Australians should question if this is the right direction, writes Luke Munn.
I’m surprised at the abc having an accurate article that calls out the dangers of palantir. They don’t even talk just about the privacy invasion but the risk for coles of losing control of their data. We all know how enshittification happens at this point, so it’s a given.
It’s not an ABC article, it’s from The Conversation. It’s also pretty old, that’s probably why data was a focus (there were several high profile data breaches around that time).
