The University of Coimbra is conducting a study on the risks of artificial intelligence in people management, exploring the possible problems arising from the use of algorithms in hiring, evaluation, and management of workers.
The research addresses issues such as algorithmic discrimination, the lack of transparency in automated decisions, and the impact of AI on labor relations and workers' rights.
The study alerts to the need for regulation and human supervision in decisions that affect employees, considering that the delegation of management functions to AI systems can raise significant ethical and legal questions.
The researchers aim to understand how technology can be used responsibly, ensuring that the implementation of AI tools in the workplace respects principles of equity and justice.
