I have been given a note that relates to this topic. I do not know whether what is claimed in it is accurate. The note states:

Are you aware of an AI data collection tool called Workplace Activity Data Utility, or WADU for short? This AI tool, it is alleged, monitors workers' activity and body language through cameras in the office space to deduce their performance, their attention, their focus, whether they are sad, stressed, happy and so forth, and the data is provided to managers. Additionally, the system allegedly monitors online activity from what the worker watches, as well as recording them through the camera and microphone on a work-issued device. I am told that this tool was specifically built for a bank [it is one of the major banks, but I will not name it] and the topic has been covered on several occasions by Business Insider.

The note seemed to be worth highlighting. I am interested to hear the witnesses' response to it.
