El impacto de la inteligencia artificial en la protección de los Derechos laborales: Análisis comparativo entre países latinoamericanos

Abstract

Research on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the protection of labor rights in Latin American countries arises at a crucial time of rapid technological transformation and labor challenges. AI has disrupted multiple aspects of society, transforming how we work, interact and live. Its influence in the workplace poses both opportunities and challenges for the protection of workers' rights. The adoption of AI in human resource management and employment decision-making has raised concerns about potential job losses and job insecurity. There is a risk of algorithmic bias and discrimination when companies turn to algorithms and automated systems for hiring and performance evaluation. Additionally, the rapid evolution of AI raises ethical and legal questions about responsibility and accountability in the workplace. Who is responsible when an algorithm makes discriminatory or unfair decisions? These are urgent issues that require research to ensure that AI does not undermine advances in labor rights. In the Latin American context, this research becomes relevant due to inequalities and weaknesses in the application of labor laws. While technology can offer opportunities to improve working conditions, there is also a risk of deepening existing disparities. Current labor regulations in many Latin American countries are not prepared to address the challenges of AI. It is necessary to explore how to adapt or create new regulations that protect workers' rights. This research can contribute to the development of public policies that promote ethical and equitable use of AI in the workplace. By understanding the potential impacts of this technology and best practices for its implementation, regulatory frameworks can be designed that encourage technological innovation without compromising workers' rights.
