Artificial Intelligence and Work

How should the law respond to a technology that is no longer a futuristic promise, but a reality transforming the labor market? This book analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the world of work, from personnel selection and algorithmic supervision to the ethical challenges of automated dismissals.

Through six chapters, it explores fundamental concepts, the functioning of algorithms, and new forms of employment and self-employment linked to digital platforms. The text delves into the legal challenges that emerge in this scenario: algorithmic transparency, data protection, discriminatory bias, among others.

Looking to the future, it examines whether AI will act as a replacement for or complement to the worker, analyzing international regulations and the current situation in Uruguay. Far from opposing progress, the book proposes guaranteeing legal certainty and respect for the rights of all parties.

An essential contribution for lawyers, labor relations specialists, employers, unions, and anyone interested in understanding the pillars of a new era of work.
