For Employees & Individuals
AI at work — your rights, explained.
Practical guides for employees navigating AI in the workplace — monitoring, hiring algorithms, performance reviews, data rights, and what protections apply where you live and work.
Rights that apply in most countries
These protections exist in varying forms across the EU, UK, US, Australia, Canada, and many other jurisdictions.
Know when AI is deciding about you
Most countries now require employers and organisations to disclose when AI makes consequential decisions about you — hiring, performance, credit, benefits.
Challenge automated decisions
In many jurisdictions you have the right to request human review of AI decisions that significantly affect you, and to know the logic behind them.
Privacy and data rights
Workplace AI monitoring — email scanning, productivity tracking, biometrics — is subject to data protection laws in most countries. You have rights.
Anti-discrimination protections
AI that produces discriminatory outcomes in hiring, promotion, or pay is illegal in most jurisdictions — regardless of whether the bias was intentional.
Job change and redundancy
If AI is used to eliminate your role, employment law protections — consultation, notice, redundancy pay — apply in the same way as any other dismissal.
The right to refuse unsafe AI
If an employer demands you use an AI tool that poses professional, legal, or safety risks, you may have grounds to refuse. Seek advice specific to your country.
Guides for employees everywhere
Plain-English guides that apply regardless of where you live and work.
