Are your work messages being snooped on by robots? That’s right, artificial intelligence may be scanning your chats for keywords that could indicate employee dissatisfaction and potential safety risks. Companies like Walmart, Delta, T-Mobile, Chevron, and Starbucks are reportedly monitoring employee conversations on messaging apps using software from a startup A.I. company called “Aware”.
But are employees happy about this invasion of privacy? Not really. Many find it displeasing that robots could be reading their messages at work. Some even consider it sneaky and untrustworthy. On the other hand, some respondents don’t seem to mind, stating that they are careful about what they do on company time.
With Slack boasting over 100,000 organizations using its platform and Microsoft Teams reporting over 280 million monthly users, it’s clear that the work-from-anywhere business model is here to stay. But with artificial intelligence monitoring our messages, are we sacrificing privacy for productivity?
What do you think about companies using A.I. to scan employee messages? Are you okay with the idea of robots snooping on your chats at work? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts on this controversial issue.
