Algorithmic decision-making in service work : an analysis of changing job autonomy

Far-reaching transformations in the world of work are being discussed vividly under the term 'artificial intelligence'. Questions are arising about the changing role of humans in work processes and their freedom to determine work content and conditions.This book explores these potential areas of conflict and examines how algorithmic decision-making systems influence the job autonomy of service workers.
