metadata.value: The advent of high-tech and self-learning AI algorithms is setting off an unprecedented transformation
  of social production processes that will fundamentally affect the entire world of
  labor. According to the author, the introduction of AI into the world of labor will undoubtedly
  lead to a temporary surge in technological unemployment, but in the long term, new technologies
  will create more jobs in new sectors of the economy. The impact of AI on unemployment
  is context-specific and should be subject to government regulation. The author points
  out that as a result of the introduction of AI algorithms in the world of labor, arise not only the
  traditional problems of strengthening the economic power of the employer, discrimination or
  unauthorized collection of personal data, but set a big complex of legal problems related to the
  responsibility of the employer for decisions that he himself cannot control. Therefore, for labor law, the most important task is to eliminate the discrepancies between the current model of
  legal regulation of labor relations and the risks of introducing AI into decision-making processes
  of hiring and controlling employees. The science of labor law should develop relevant
  approaches to a reasonable limitation of the use of AI, taking into account the peculiarities
  of modern algorithmic technologies, production prospects, legal and social risks. The author
  criticizes proposals for endowing AI with legal personality and the possibility of delegating
  responsibility for the implementation of employer functions to algorithms. According to the
  author, AI cannot have legal personality in labor relations (as well as in legal relations of any
  other type), since the functioning of AI is carried out through the datification of all their participants
  without the goal of achieving a socially significant result and establishing interaction
  between subjects of law regarding the satisfaction of their needs. AI is a means of automating
  labor processes, a digital interface for interaction between elements of the production system.
  The author states that AI in legal reality can exist only as an object of law. The author proposes
  to fix in the labor legislation the presumption of responsibility of the employer for the
  decisions made by AI, regardless of the originally programmed algorithms, even if they were
  changed by AI as a result of machine learning.
