THE FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN THE WORKPLACE: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

In this study, my goal is to analyse the transformation of employer rights in the context of the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The introduction of AI technologies has a significant impact on the employers’ right to instruct, control and discipline, and also raises new data management challenges. My central theme is the growing role of automated decision-making, particularly in the areas of recruitment, selection and performance appraisal, which are also an important part of human resource management, a subset of employer rights. In the course of the above-designated research path, I attempt to answer questions that make the relevance of the topic indisputable: How can the transparency and legality of automated decision-making be ensured in the employment relationship? What data protection concerns arise in the application of AI? Due to the rise of AI technologies, examining these questions is of fundamental importance from the aspect of the protection of employee rights and interests.
