Companies have the right to monitor employees to ensure productivity but they must also protect the employee’s privacy, an Auckland University Business School lecturer says.
Last week US banking giant Wells Fargo sacked more than a dozen people for allegedly faking keyboard activity, pretending they were working at home when they were not.
The bank has not said how it picked up on the problem.
But a survey last year of 1000 US-based companies showed 96 percent of them were using some kind of monitoring to check up on employees working from home.
All of this raises questions around ethics and productivity.
There are some pretty major data security issues regarding AI though, especially around finance.
Is generative AI useful for finance? I thought it was only really useful for programming and design in the real world at the moment. But yeah you still need to be careful what data you give it, basically need to treat it the same as asking a question on a public forum like stack overflow or similar.
