All 17 are controlled by countries that opposed a proposed fossil fuel phaseout at the Cop30 UN climate summit in December
Wild! You're saying that 17 countries with economies based in large part on fossil fuels didn't agree to sabotage their own economies??!!
We may not like that they won't ruin their economies to save the planet, but it shouldn't be surprising.
It's not about using an algorithm, it's about using a third party whose involvement was not disclosed, and disclosing applicants' information to them. This information is in the summary.
Again, either the article (the actual article, not the summary) is leaving out important information, or this is going to be a hard case to win for the plaintiffs.
The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday accusing Eightfold of violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act shows how consumer advocates are seeking to apply existing law to AI systems capable of drawing inferences about individuals based on vast amounts of data.
So that requires the definition of the FCRA
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a U.S. federal law ensuring the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of personal information in consumer credit reports, regulating how Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs) collect, use, and share data. It empowers consumers with rights to access their credit reports, dispute errors, get free annual reports, and place fraud alerts, while also placing obligations on businesses that furnish information (like lenders) and those that use credit reports (like employers or insurers).
My point was that the article mentions nothing about running a credit report. Either the article left that part out for some weird reason, or these two plaintiffs are trying to say that any third party report gathering information without the consent of the applicant qualifies as a credit report. I'm not in favor of what they're doing, but you'd need to find an actual law they violated, or create a new law to prevent them from doing what they're doing.
So having Norwegian ancestors makes you want to buy an EV?
Judging by your response and those that followed, critical thinking is in short supply. Being a small country makes it much easier to push initiatives.
"Norway's push for EVs involves aggressive incentives like tax exemptions (VAT, purchase tax), reduced fees (tolls, ferries, parking), and strong charging infrastructure, leading to nearly 96% EV market share for new cars in 2025".
There are reasons this doesn't work in larger populations. The most obvious is that supply would not cover the demand if the same percentage of people in the US tried to reach that same goal. What happens when the demand is high and there aren't enough EVs to cover said demand?
Norway also has a massive sovereign wealth fund that can be used to fund huge projects. Mix that with their small population and you end up with a very unique situation. So Norway is not a good example for other countries. It's a special case, and good for them.
But I don't live in Norway so, if I'm honest, I don't give a flying fuck about EV sales in Norway.
Their population only being between 5 and 6 million people does make it a little less impressive. They're also 80-90% native Norwegians, so diversity of morals and perceptions isn't much of an issue there either.

Did we just reinvent the screensaver?
Worse, we wedged an "AI assistant" into the silly thing as well.
