Your boss is an algorithm

Robots, algorithms, and online platforms are changing the world of work. Using case studies and examples from the UK, EU, and US, this book provides a compass to navigate this transformation. Can flexibility and legal protection be reconciled to uphold innovation? How likely is it that the gig-economy model will emerge as a new organisational paradigm across sectors? How can we address the pervasive power of AI-enabled monitoring? What can social partners and political players do to adopt effective regulation?


The book offers a guide to explore these new scenarios, their promises, and perils, and the regulatory options available.
