In the framework of the common objective of this volume, this chapter focuses on the technological element –expressed in AI– which is usually part of the definition of remote work. This chapter discusses how AI tools shape the organization and performance of remote work, how algorithms impact remote workers rights and how trade unions and workers can harness these powerful instruments to improve working and living conditions. Three hypotheses are considered. First, that AI systems and algorithmic management generate a de facto deepening of the subordinate position of the worker. Second, that this process does not represent technological determinism but instead the impact of human and institutional elements. And finally, that technological resources usually are more present in remote work than in traditional work done at the workplace. These hypotheses and concerns are addressed in several ways: by contextualizing the issue over time, through a multi-level optic centered on the interactions of different levels of regulation, by examining practical dimensions and finally by exploring the implications for unions and worker agency.
