THE NEED FOR AN ADEQUATE LEGAL FRAMEWORK REGULATING THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE WORKPLACE

Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the necessity of establishing an appropriate legal framework to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, amid profound transformations caused by digitalization and automation. The study highlights the impact of automated decisions on fairness, emphasizing that algorithms function as normative infrastructures capable of reproducing or amplifying social inequalities. Concepts such as algorithmic fairness, bias assessment methodologies, and the epistemic limits of advanced AI systems are examined, along with legal implications arising from the European regulatory framework, particularly the GDPR and the Platform Work Directive. The paper also addresses the protection of employees’ privacy and security, emphasizing the risks of algorithmic surveillance and the principles of legality, necessity, and proportionality. Finally, future challenges related to digital inclusion and lifelong professional training are analyzed, highlighting the need for integrated public policies that ensure a fair balance between technological innovation, economic efficiency, and the protection of workers’ fundamental rights.
