AI and Labor Law: Algorithmic Management and Dignity

This article critically examines contemporary algorithmic governance, opposing technological determinism. The authors argue that implementing artificial intelligence in the workplace is not a natural phenomenon, but a political and economic decision, which carries with it specific responsibilities. The text provides a detailed discussion of the legal framework outlined by the EU AI Act and the Platform Work Directive, identifying high-risk systems. A key consideration is protecting employee dignity from phenomena such as "faceless subordination" and "epistemic humiliation." The publication postulates the need to ensure real human oversight and operational explainability of algorithms. The analysis concludes with a reflection on the future of the labor market, where transparency and anti-discrimination become the foundation of a just digital transformation.
