AI adoption raises psychosocial risks at work, ILO warns

The paper acknowledged that there have been efforts to address how surveillance systems are deployed in workplaces.  

However, there is more room for improvement when it comes to the other risks involved.  

“While excessive risks emerging from excessive data collection may require, in the interim, regulatory improvements for workers’ privacy, what is lacking is the regulation of even more complex psychosocial factors, namely loss of job autonomy, dignity at work, and workplace transparency,” the report read.  

“These issues raise fundamental questions about what the future human-centred world of work should look like.”
