big brother using ai to moniteor workers

 

What happened: The Biden administration is asking American workers to  share how their employers  are deploying AI in their workplaces. As automation becomes more prevalant, the White House is concerned that automated tools used to track and monitor workers can pose serious risks to their safety and mental health, as well as fuel discrimination in areas like pay and discipline. What the numbers say: Most Americans are apprehensive about using AI to monitor workers. A Pew Research  survey  from April found that more than 60% of U.S. adults opposed using AI to track employees' movements while they work; majorities also opposed AI to keep track of desk time and record what workers are doing at their computers. In other areas, such as  monitoring the driving behaviors of workers  on the job, those polled were actually more supportive. Why it matters: The White House is  asking for feedback  from stakeholders, including employers, advocacy groups, and researchers, to describe their experiences with AI at work. The comments could help the federal government decide which rules and regulations, if any, to introduce to tackle any harms caused by workplace surveillance tech, which is  on the rise .
