The tech industry is applying an Uber-style ‘gigification’ model to nursing. It means no workers’ comp, AI managers, and ‘surveillance wages’

These platforms use AI-driven algorithms to manage assignments and suppress wages through bidding systems and "surveillance wages" that tie pay to worker metrics. An AI Now research report documents how healthcare platforms are replicating Uber's contractor classification strategy to sidestep employee protections.
