In this paper the workplace surveillance generated by Artificial Intelligence systems is studied. First, the concept of AI and the systems it powers are approached, as well as the contribution of algorithms to this function. The concept of surveillance itself serves a different purpose when carried out by the operation of systems and is distinguished from the traditional means used so far. Surveillance varies depending on the area where it is used and usually involves two key actors, the employer and the employee. Next, an attempt is made to identify the specific role of Artificial Intelligence in surveillance and analyze its scope. The tools and methods of surveillance that are most frequently encountered are listed, and the positive impact that Artificial Intelligence can bring to the workplace is highlighted. Then, starting with an exploration of the reasons, the risks in the workplace, focusing on the workers themselves, are analyzed. The use of existing and forthcoming legislative tools in the field of worker protection is a fundamental approach for the coexistence of Artificial Intelligence systems and employees in the workplace. Starting from fundamental provisions of the Greek legal order, the protection of employees' personal data, as an aspect of the right to privacy, is developed in the light of the General Data Protection Regulation and the interpretative initiatives of the institutions as well as valuable international case law. 'Then, in anticipation of the adoption of the Proposed Regulation on Artificial Intelligence, as a piece of legislation that will significantly affect the perception of the influence of AI systems on any human activity to date, its main provisions are explored. The essential ethical requirements are listed and critical assessments of the legislation in question are provided. Finally, this paper proposes some preventive and repressive measures to deal with emerging risks, capable of ensuring reliable surveillance systems in the workplace.
