Artificial intelligence act and public intervention in labor relations

Abstract

Although the attention of labor jurists, and of the legislator himself, has been focused on the use of artificial intelligence by companies, within the framework of the employment contract, the fact is that in the last two decades we have witnessed an unstoppable increase in its use by public, administrative and judicial entities. This paper describes, firstly, the internal normative evolution in relation to the latter. Secondly, it analyzes the impact that the approval of the Artificial Intelligence Act may have on the current situation. Finally, the resulting situation is assessed. In this last area, the existing inadequacies are highlighted, especially in relation to the administrative use of AI, and some possibilities are offered to overcome them
