Towards AI-based and algorithmic worker management systems for more productive, safer and healthier workplaces

This info sheet explores the rise of AI-based and algorithmic worker management (AIWM) systems, which enhance productivity by automating decisions and optimising task organisation. Apart from the benefits offered, AIWM challenges worker privacy and generates work-related psychosocial risks, stress and a range of other negative effects on workers´ safety, health and well-being.

A human-centred approach, worker participation and a sound OSH prevention and management system in place are essential to balancing the advantages of technology with worker safety, health and well-being, creating safer, healthier and more productive work environments.
