Description
The Quantified Worker: How Technology is Redefining the Modern Workplace. The modern workplace has undergone a significant transformation with the advent of the information revolution. Big data and AI are now used to monitor workers, shifting risk and responsibility. Various forms of worker quantification have emerged, including workplace wellness programs that assess our health, personality job tests that evaluate our mental state, and social media monitoring that measures our social behavior. Ifeoma Ajunwa explores how these developments are enabled, facilitated, and driven by technological advances in her book, The Quantified Worker. With a focus on the law, she examines how different forms of worker quantification threaten to erase individual personhood. This timely and eye-opening analysis advocates for changes in the law that will mitigate the negative effects of the modern workplace. By examining the intersection of technology and work, Ajunwa sheds light on the need for reform and offers a critical perspective on the impact of quantified work on individuals and society.
