Dr Viviane Ghaderi, a former AI scientist at Amazon, alleges that she was demoted and fired after returning from maternity leave and complaining that Amazon was violating its own copyright policies in its AI research. She claims her managers told her to ignore copyright rules to keep up with competitors. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles state court, accuses Amazon of pregnancy discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination.
