Control de la actividad laboral, intimidad e inteligencia artificial

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has suddenly burst into the field of labour relations, facilitating the exercise of corporate powers and, in particular, the faculties of control and surveillance of the provision of services. The consolidated use of instruments and devices to perform this function has not been accompanied by the development or adaptation of the necessary guarantees to preserve the right to privacy of workers. What’s more, these guarantees have considerably been weakened since 2006, so that the protection against this reality is currently found in the LOPDGDD, which regulates the right to data protection and digital rights. of working people, and in a constitutional doctrine that has been making the requirements of the principle of proportionality more flexible while combining it with the expectation of privacy. The irremediable consequence has been a weakening of the applicable guarantees to the right to privacy at a time of boom and implementation of potentially harmful technological innovations.
