hair and switch

Do you mean bait and switch?

As far as “fighting back”

Ajunwa also thinks that the Fair Credit Reporting Act should apply to all A.I. companies that collect data on applicants and then give them a score. Applicants should be able to gain access to that score and “check it for inaccuracies, and also demand a correction from whoever holds that file,” she said. This is the argument behind a class-action lawsuit filed in January against Eightfold AI, a company that uses a data set that includes the profiles of more than 1 billion people. The plaintiffs want transparency into how they were scored and what information was used to assess them.

It’s a class action lawsuit.

    Oooh so sorry, the payout is done by pre-paid card, and the minimum payout for the card is $5. So you only get paid if nobody else does!
