Tecnica e potere: l'IA nel rapporto di lavoro

The paper examines the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on labor law, addressing the legal, ethical, and regulatory challenges posed by the integration of digital technologies into employment contexts. It explores key issues such as algorithmic management, workplace surveillance, and the evolving nature of employer-employee relationships in the digital age. Particular attention is given to the European Union’s AI Act and its implications for labor protections, including the classification of high-risk AI systems and their governance under risk-based frameworks. The discussion highlights the tension between technological innovation and the safeguarding of workers' rights, emphasizing the need for a dynamic legal framework that ensures transparency, accountability, and equity. The paper calls for a reevaluation of traditional labor law concepts, such as subordination and employer responsibility, to address the complexities introduced by AI and automation in the workplace.
