The presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in many areas of social life is becoming widespread. The advantages of AI are being observed in medicine, commerce, automobiles, customer service, agriculture and production in factory settings, among others. Workers first encountered robots in the work environment in the 1960s. Since then, intelligent systems have become much more advanced. The expansion of AI functionality in the work environment exacerbates human health risks. These can be physical (lack of adequate machine control, accidents) or psychological (technostress, fear, automation leading to job exclusion, changes in the labour market, widening social differences).
The purpose of this article is to identify, based on selected literature, possible applications of AI and the potential benefits and risks for humans.
The main area of interest was the contemporary work environment and the health consequences associated with access to smart technologies. A key research area for us was the relationship between AI and increased worker control.
In the article, the authors emphasize the importance of relevant EU legislation that guarantees respect for the rights of the employed. The authors put forward the thesis that the new reality with the widespread use of AI, requires an analysis of its impact on the human psycho-social and health situation. Thus, a legal framework defining the scope of monitoring and collection of sensitive data is necessary. Med Pr. 2023;74(3):227-33.
人工智能（AI）在社会生活的许多领域中日益普及。在医学、商业、汽车、客户服务、农业以及工厂生产等诸多领域，人们都观察到了人工智能的优势。20世纪60年代，工人们首次在工作环境中接触到机器人。从那时起，智能系统变得更加先进。人工智能功能在工作环境中的扩展加剧了人类健康风险。这些风险可能是身体方面的（缺乏对机器的充分控制、事故）或心理方面的（技术压力、恐惧、自动化导致工作被排斥、劳动力市场变化、社会差异扩大）。
本文的目的是基于所选文献，确定人工智能的可能应用以及对人类的潜在益处和风险。
主要关注的领域是当代工作环境以及与接触智能技术相关的健康后果。对我们来说，一个关键的研究领域是人工智能与工人控制增强之间的关系。
在本文中，作者强调了相关欧盟立法的重要性，该立法保障对就业人员权利的尊重。作者提出论点，即人工智能广泛应用的新现实需要分析其对人类心理社会和健康状况的影响。因此，有必要建立一个界定敏感数据监测和收集范围的法律框架。《医学实践》2023年；74(3)：227 - 33。
