  + stars: | 2024-03-18 | by ( Hanna Ziady | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
London CNN —Uber will pay more than 8,000 taxi and hire car drivers in Australia almost 272 million Australian dollars ($179 million) in compensation for losses they suffered after the ride-sharing giant entered the country in 2012, lawyers representing the drivers said Monday. It has also made “significant contributions to various state-level taxi compensation schemes” in Australia since 2018, according to the company. Uber now teams up with taxi drivers in many countries. “This caused loss of income to authorized taxi drivers and operators, and hire car operators. In a statement on its website, Uber Australia said ride-sharing regulations did not exist anywhere in the world when it launched more than a decade ago.

☆ These images aren’t real, but for some refugees they depict a painful truth

For some, Australia’s approach has been seen as a model, particularly in the United Kingdom, which wants to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda. As AI images, they’re powerful and controversial, not least due to fears they could be mistaken for real images in a world awash with false and misleading information. Amnesty International was recently called out for using AI images in a report to depict protesters in Colombia that critics said undermined its credibility as a news source. The refugee AI images were created partly because no “real” alternative existed – partly due to distance but also restrictions on media access and early bans on mobile phones. But the use of fake images to visualize accounts raises questions about when it’s acceptable to create AI images and how they should be presented.

☆ Australia's Star Entertainment faces second class action suit over compliance
  + stars: | 2022-11-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Nov 7 (Reuters) - Australian casino operator Star Entertainment Group Ltd (SGR.AX) on Monday said it faces a second class action lawsuit over allegations of failure to comply with disclosure requirements regarding anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing rules. The class action, filed by law firm Maurice Blackburn, alleges that between March 29, 2016 and March 16, 2022, Star made misleading representations about its systems and processes for compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations, Star said in a statement. The lawsuit also accuses Star of failing to disclose relevant information to the market and "conducted its affairs contrary to the interests of the members of The Star as a whole", according to the statement. Star said it will defend itself against the class action, adding that the claim was "substantially similar" to the class action filed by another law firm Slater & Gordon (SGH.AX) in March earlier this year.
