Artificial intelligence, the most popular technology of recent times, continues to increasingly influence the business world, as in many other areas. White-collar workers, who experienced this issue firsthand and were directly exposed to the negativities it caused, reacted with the words “we are constantly being watched.” Here are the details
Artificial intelligence is constantly monitoring white collar workers!
In today’s conditions, many companies constantly monitor their employees through various software they install in their work environments. These software generally work powered by artificial intelligence technology; It analyzes employees’ actions on their computers, phone calls and e-mail conversations without interruption, and presents reports to managers.
The artificial intelligence software in question carries out such an intense monitoring process that even if employees mention the word “union”, it creates a record on the report presented to managers. In addition, it reveals the performance of white-collar employees with concrete data by grading each business process within a certain scale.
Think twice when using ChatGPT! A lawsuit has been filed
A new artificial intelligence lawsuit has been filed for OpenAI and Microsoft. It was stated that the two companies committed a crime by violating publisher rights.
Unfortunately, many companies take a very strict approach to the reports they receive regarding the performance of their employees and decide to terminate their employment contracts. Since this situation is based on negativities that do not affect the overall projects carried out, it often results in the detriment of the employees. For example, even when employees take a coffee or a necessity break a little longer than normal due to some conditions of daily life, they can see this in their reports at the end of the month. Because artificial intelligence can – in line with the request of employers – report data directly, often without any human evaluation.
Artificial intelligence, which has such a profound impact on the business world, seems to have also attracted the attention of unions. However, since no clear statement has been made to prevent this issue, employees are trying to take some precautions themselves, feeling the lack of union support. These reactions, which manifest themselves in the form of strikes, protests and various social media reactions, are growing like an avalanche day by day.
In the future, legislative institutions and unions are expected to take clear steps to protect the rights of white-collar workers. This process, which is increasingly serious, unfortunately continues to show its impact with various sanctions and dismissals. So, what do you think about this issue?
