A new draft bill in Greece proposes strict regulatory limits on artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making in workplace recruitment, evaluation, and personnel management, introducing mandatory human review and transparency requirements.
The draft law attempts to prevent the phenomenon of employees facing an “invisible employer”, making decisions about their professional development without human judgment. Based on the proposed provisions, artificial intelligence will be able to function exclusively as a support tool. It is prohibited from replacing humans in critical processes, such as hiring, rejecting candidates, evaluating performance and assigning tasks.
At the same time, transparency rules are established and the right of employees to be informed, to request explanations for the criteria of the algorithms and to demand a review of any decision by a natural person is guaranteed. An important axis of the bill is also the protection of personal data, with the proposed prohibition of processing sensitive information, such as psychological status and private conversations, in order to avoid the creation of digital monitoring profiles.
In addition to technology issues, the bill includes interventions to support working parents and facilitate their leave. Among other things, the time limit between parental leaves is abolished, greater flexibility is provided to couples working in the same company and the six-month employment requirement for obtaining a caregiver's leave is abolished. Finally, a regulation is provided for maintaining the insurance capacity of young people over 18 years of age, so that their coverage by EFKA is not interrupted after they reach adulthood.
