Dozens of business owners in the UK are using artificial intelligence to monitor employee behavior every minute, collecting data about emailing, editing files, and personal appointments.

According to The Guardian , the actions of 130,000 people in the UK and abroad are being monitored in real time by the Isaak system to rank employees. Designed by Status Today, UK, Isaak is a typical system for the trend of using algorithms to manage people.

Specifically, the computer compares performance data with qualitative assessments of employees, from resumes to performance to managers know details of behavior and performance.

So far there have been seven companies using Isaak, including five law firms, a training company called Smarter Not Harder and a London real estate agency JBrown.

Creativity will be killed?

According to Status Today , controlling real-time behavior, the position of each employee in the organization network will help the company perform better. But employees do not have the right to view data held by employers.

Experts believe that systems such as Isaak increase the pressure on workers, force people not to take breaks, or take the time to think creatively that will not be noted because of the camera’s “eyes”, you At this point, there was almost nothing to do.

Ursula Huws, Professor of Labor and Globalization at Hertfordshire University, said that the staff would be more pressured if their efforts were measured by AI.

People will be considered by AI to not work if they take their hands off the keyboard for five minutes. At that time they could think but were not recorded. This is very dangerous with economic innovation and adaptation, which needs creative workers.

Ursula thinks there are risks to psychological health if people don’t feel comfortable when resting, such as surfing social networks for a few minutes or playing a game. A survey has shown that employees in the UK tend to postpone work to an average of three hours a day because they don’t decide whether or not to release stress.

The future of “accurate economy”

According to The Guardian, Isaak has collected data of more than 1 billion actions, with the goal of identifying key individuals in the network of employees to allocate better workloads and responsibilities, ultimately improving lips. school work together.

The system is part of what experts call a “precise economy”, in which more and more aspects of life will be measured. The British Art Association (RSA) predicts in the next 15 years, life insurance premiums will be set with health data from mobile devices.

Industry personnel will be monitored during the time they are not working. As the economy spreads, workers will receive good jobs when performance and mental data are appreciated.

In contrast, those with low scores can only do dangerous jobs, sometimes “mental torture” such as content censorship on social networks, RSA predicts.
