Close inspections in the workplace and the violation o the dignity of the human person from the perspective of artificial inteligence and technological advances

Abstract

This scientific article analyzes fundamental rights and guarantees that regulate social, political and legal aspects of Brazilian citizens lives. In particular, this paper explores constitutional principles that guarantee workplace diversity – specifically, a right stemming from the dignity of the human person. In this sense, this study initially questions whether stopping and frisking employees is an abuse of the employer's directive power and, therefore, violates an employee’s contract. In order to better illustrate this context, this paper also analyzes the successive and significant technological advances of the twenty first century, which, with the advent of machines, have been used to monitor employees, in order to prevent them from being stopped and frisked – a practice which can be significantly embarrassing for the employee. Finally, this research draws a parallel between the current progress of automation in the workplace and the arrival of artificial intelligence in the labor market as a strong ally for progress within business spaces. In order to reach our conclusions, this study utilized the inductive method with the use of comprehensive scientific observations.
