NEW PAPER from the DATAJUSTICE project: ‘What do data rights do for workers?’ In this paper we assess the possibilities and limitations of a focus on data rights in response to the datafication of work based on research with trade unions in the UK: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

The need to regulate the algorithmic workplace via workplace democracy (works councils + trade unions) is supported by our platform worker research findings that workers feel these policies would have the biggest positive impact on their platform work. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Very useful article for conceptualising empirical research on algorithmic management that aligns with our own research on how data justice debates can apply to the workplace.

This is the true AI doomerism. Not the stuff about a rogue AI enslaving humanity, but rather using AI as an ideological tool to justify the capitalist nihilism of maximum extraction by claiming its the only solution for planetary collapse.
