The project aims to analyse the current reality of labour relations, which are characterised by the use of both AI and algorithms. Among other things, it examines the criteria used to organise work, how performance is measured and how remuneration is determined. So far, this has mostly not been clearly explained, and neither workers nor their representatives can do anything about it.
This raises the question of how these new forms of relationships are considered in current legislation, both at EU and national level.
To this end, success stories that go beyond legislation are also analysed: regulations in agreements, conventions, codes of conduct and other documents that regulate the application of these new forms of control, at least at company or sectoral level.
Although AI and algorithms are not just the future, but already a reality, labour legislation and collective bargaining are only just beginning to set limits. Trade unions and other workers' organisations have had to negotiate conditions in cases, companies and sectors where the harmful consequences of this new era of human resources have already become apparent. It is therefore very important to exchange successful experiences in different countries in order to contribute to the design of a future European legal framework that will remove the difficulties that have already arisen.
