(Nie)dopuszczalność stosowania neurotechnologii w miejscu pracy
Abstrakt
Neurotechnology, together with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, opens up a world of almost infinite possibilities. It is also finding applications in the work environment. Despite the undoubtedly positive effects of the use of neural tools in the workplace (the possibility of improving work efficiency, enhancing the health and safety system, or risk management), they bring obvious threats to the dignity, privacy, psychological privacy, and other personal assets of the worker. There is no doubt that technological progress will redefine human life, may significantly affect social relations as we have known them so far, and will give rise to unprecedented consequences for human rights. It is therefore legitimate to ask whether the existing legal regulations are a sufficient response to these challenges, or whether it is nevertheless necessary to amend the regulations or enact a new law.Bibliografia
