Impact of issues related to technology on labour law and the negotiating algorithm

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies, including blockchain, internet of things (IoT), and conversational user interfaces, have significantly influenced the culture, relationships, and business procedures of the 21st century, prompting a meticulous re-evaluation of conventional norms. While machines have supplanted human roles in various fields since the Industrial Revolution, contemporary AI advancements present a potential to not only revolutionise employment but also curtail economic growth and impart extensive societal impacts. This study principally contends that the advent and utilisation of digital technologies have indistinctly metamorphosed the essence of work and employment. AI also affects labour law, giving lawmakers a new perspective. If robots without legal personalities can do human duties, employers can fire them. The key question is whether organisations can operate efficiently with fewer workers. Despite the importance of employees, layoffs may occur. Given this, policymakers may consider reducing redundancy, giving robots a legal personality, or regulating their workplace use. This study examines how the public views AI and its workplace effects, examining the relationship between AI and labour regulations. This topic became important after substantial research on legal personality in labour regulation.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies, including blockchain, internet of things (IoT), and conversational user interfaces, have significantly influenced the culture, relationships, and business procedures of the 21st century, prompting a meticulous re-evaluation of conventional norms. While machines have supplanted human roles in various fields since the Industrial Revolution, contemporary AI advancements present a potential to not only revolutionise employment but also curtail economic growth and impart extensive societal impacts. This study principally contends that the advent and utilisation of digital technologies have indistinctly metamorphosed the essence of work and employment. AI also affects labour law, giving lawmakers a new perspective. If robots without legal personalities can do human duties, employers can fire them. The key question is whether organisations can operate efficiently with fewer workers. Despite the importance of employees, layoffs may occur. Given this, policymakers may consider reducing redundancy, giving robots a legal personality, or regulating their workplace use. This study examines how the public views AI and its workplace effects, examining the relationship between AI and labour regulations. This topic became important after substantial research on legal personality in labour regulation.
