The Center on Privacy & Technology as part of Tech & Society week will be hosting a panel on April 10, 2024 at 1 PM ET on the 9th floor of 500 First St NW.
How has workplace surveillance played out in U.S. history? How do we see these historical patterns repeated today? What do these echoes mean for both workers and employers in the context of emerging technologies? The "New Tech, Old Story: How Understanding the History of Worker Surveillance Should Inform Policies and Regulation" panel grounds current anti-surveillance at work debates in the context of history. It will also offer some examples of how workers are organizing against surveillance tools being deployed on them, and some ideas for more effective and historically-informed policy interventions.
