   Chicago lawsuits allege Coco and Serve robots scanned biometric data without consent

   Two proposed class-action lawsuits in Chicago allege that delivery robots operated by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured customers' biometric data without consent and used it to train AI systems. The plaintiffs, Cook County residents, say the companies violated Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act, which requires written notice, prior written consent and retention schedules, and seek statutory damages of $1,000 per negligent violation or $5,000 per intentional or reckless violation. Both companies deny the claims: Serve says its cameras and sensors navigate sidewalks and are not used to identify individuals or create biometric profiles, while Coco told the Associated Press it collects only navigational data and called the legal action frivolous.
