Video surveillance at the workplace in times of artificial intelligence

Abstract

This paper analyzes the effects of integrating AI systems into workplace survei­llance and the applicable regulations when this occurs. It examines the joint application of digital labor law surveillance rules with those of Algorithmic Law. The conclusion is that there are fairly comprehensive rules to regulate these surveillance systems, without significant contradictions between the two sectors. These devices and image analytics increase the risk of rights violations for workers, but also provide employers with an important tool for improving health and safety, decision-making, and regulatory compliance. Therefore, progress must be made in their regulation.
