ABSTRACT
Rapid advancements in automation are revolutionising labour markets. This chapter focuses on a comparatively overlooked aspect of debates surrounding automation and the future of work: the rise of algorithmic management, enabled by hitherto infeasible forms of data collection and processing. As AI-driven decision-making is quickly becoming an important element of most employer functions, from hiring workers through to daily performance monitoring, received models of the legal regulation of employment relationships are faced with complex challenges, some of which, including notably management accountability for key workplace decisions, may require both the careful adaptation of existing laws as well as a fundamental rethink of existing norms.
