Finally, on Amendment 123C, research by the Institute for the Future of Work suggests that the utility and effectiveness of data protection impact assessments are limited by the absence of basic disclosure provisions and strict limitations to their application to data subjects and data rights. In particular, significant social and economic impacts on workers, workplace and labour rights are likely to fall between protection in data and employment legislation as they stand. Areas of concern include hiring and access to work; pay and work allocation; impacts on the conditions and quality of work; monitoring and surveillance, including neuro and emotional surveillance; and discipline or termination of work. Research shows that AI and other data-driven technologies have already had significant impacts on the nature of work and jobs, on the conditions and quality of people’s work, and on access and enforceability of rights.
