Employees gave general consent for 'health and safety monitoring' but argue they never explicitly consented to their *internal, unconscious states* being continuously interpreted as data for automated task adjustments. This challenges their mental privacy and fundamentally undermines 'informed consent' (Axiom 4) for data beyond conscious control, even if the AI's intent is benevolent for their well-being.
