Workplace AI makes it all too easy to track you on the job
Artificial intelligence can help you work and even help you find work, but it's now being used to monitor you at work... and that's not entirely a good thing. New Scientist notes that a London firm, StatusToday, recently joined a security accelerator run by the UK's GCHQ intelligence agency. The company's AI uses metadata from your workplace habits (such as the files you access and when you unlock doors) to spot unusual behavior as it happens. If you suddenly download a lot of data or venture into a part of the office you never frequent, the AI can alert the company and ask you what's going on.
