Programmer Erin Mouse received an official religious exemption from the employer. According to Business Insider, the company granted the request in May. The programmer, who is a Unitarian Universalist, formulated her stance in April. Erin Mouse pointed to the ecological issues of the technology, which are related to excessive water and energy consumption in data centers. She performs her work entirely by hand. Specialist John Meehan noted that companies will need to adopt new regulations under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Employers must urgently define such policies. The programmer discovered that writing code manually is just as fast as using AI. In her assessment, the system does not deliver the expected advantages, which wasn’t even an issue two years ago.
