Uber Eats courier sues over alleged racially biased facial recognition dismissal
Pa Edrissa Manjang, a UK Uber Eats courier, is suing the company for allegedly dismissing him based on racially biased facial recognition software. He claims that the Real-Time ID Check system produced continued mismatches, leading to his account deactivation in April 2021, and that he was targeted for excessive checks amounting to racial harassment. Uber Eats denies that automated facial verification was the reason, stating that the system includes robust human review. An east London employment tribunal has refused to strike out the discrimination claim, and Manjang was reportedly reinstated after filing the case.

Michigan's MiDAS system falsely accused 34,000 of unemployment fraud
Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) deployed the Michigan Integrated Data Automated System (MiDAS) to automate fraud detection. The system algorithmically adjudicated over 40,000 fraud cases between October 2013 and September 2015, with 85 percent of those resulting in incorrect fraud determinations. The false accusations led to severe financial penalties, ruined credit, and homelessness for many victims. A class-action lawsuit was filed, and while the state has apologised and returned fines, it has fought against compensation claims, though legislators have promised to seek at least $30 million for those affected.

Jordan's National Aid Fund Algorithm Denies Cash Assistance to Vulnerable Households
Human Rights Watch reported that Jordan’s Takaful cash transfer programme, run by the National Aid Fund and financed by the World Bank, uses an algorithm to rank households by estimated economic vulnerability and select recipients. The report found that the algorithm relies on inaccurate self-reported income and questionable indicators such as car ownership and utility use, causing eligible poor families to be denied benefits or receive reduced payments. The World Bank and NAF defended the programme and its targeting approach.

INSS AI Denies Rural Worker's Pension After Misidentifying Her as a Man

DWP's Universal Credit algorithm causes underpayment and hardship for claimants
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) uses an automated means-testing algorithm in its Universal Credit system that miscalculates earnings due to a design flaw, leading to underpayments and fluctuating benefit amounts. Claimants such as Janet R. received payments hundreds of pounds short, forcing them into debt and foodbank use. A Court of Appeal ruling in June 2020 ordered the DWP to fix the flaw, but the department had not yet fully implemented the remedy at the time of writing.

Campaigners call for end to Home Office's IPIC 'robo-caseworker' AI tool
Migrants' rights campaigners have called for the UK government to stop using the IPIC (Identify & Prioritise Immigration Cases) AI system, which automatically identifies and recommends migrants for immigration decisions or enforcement action. Privacy International and the Migrants' Rights Network have raised concerns that the system could lead to racial bias and the 'rubberstamping' of algorithmic recommendations by caseworkers. The campaigners argue that people going through the immigration system may not know their information has been processed by an algorithm. The Home Office has not directly responded to the specific concerns, though Science Secretary Peter Kyle has defended the safe development of AI in public services.
