Share this article The Government faced calls this week to provide clear guidance for employers on using technology to monitor remote workers. It comes after the Irish Congress of Trade Unions raised concerns about a "growing trend" of bosses using artificial intelligence (AI). ICTU highlighted the issue in its submission to Government about legislation that would give workers the right to request to work remotely post-pandemic. The body is worried that the use of AI to monitor remote workers is becoming too much like surveillance, adding that the tools could be used to decide who gets a bonus or let go from a company.
