Algorithmic management and collective protection of labour rights
Abstract
Although the effects of AI on work are still uncertain, effects on privacy, data protection, equality and occupational health have already been described in algorithmic business management (from hiring to firing). Solving the AI/discrimination ban binomial will require the adaptation of anti-discrimination legislation, introducing regulations that impose algorithmic transparency, explainability and accountability. The analysis of the various documents and regulations, both in the European Union and in our country, relating to the protection of the rights of workers in the context of algorithmic business management, will be the subject of this work. And its main shortcoming, the exclusively individual approach, the absence of instruments for trade union protection of labour rights, will be verified. For this reason, the competences of trade union representatives in the control of AI will be analysed and proposals for regulatory reform will be formulated.
