Protection of Dignity at Work in the Context of Personal Data Processing through Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The protection of dignity at work represents a fundamental principle in both international and national labor regulations. The use of artificial intelligence to process personal data presents unique characteristics and risks in the context of labor relations, particularly from the perspective of dignity in the workplace. This article aims to explore some of these risks, referring to potential impacts on workers' personal lives, exposure to discrimination that affect dignity at work, and identify some mitigating measures. These practices could lead to illegal conduct that, while not intended by employers, might be overlooked, accepted, or even impossible to detect. In these cases, employer liability for the use of such technical means becomes significant.
