BWW experts in publications by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna
In January this year, our lawyers commented on current and important topics in the field of labour law and regulations for local governments.
When it comes to labour law, the use of artificial intelligence is a pressing issue that needs to be regulated from the perspective of both employers and employees. In her legal analysis, editor Patrycja Otto asked experts who deal with labour law, ‘Can an employee be dismissed for using GPT?’
The co-founder of our law firm, Aleksandra Woźniak, emphasises in this material that not every case of an employee’s use of artificial intelligence justifies disciplinary action and why this is closely linked to the issue of basic employee obligations and the protection of the employer’s interests.
What to look out for when using AI for work purposes?
Katarzyna Bando-Tylińska, an expert in the labour law team at BWW law firm, points out that when assessing such situations, it is worth verifying which version of ChatGPT the employee was using, as different versions offer different data security features.
In addition, according to our expert, it is worth checking whether the option allowing the use of data for model training was enabled in the system settings, whether the option to remember conversations was enabled, and whether the employee was using the version intended for business use.
This is not the end of the dilemmas in this area. More await us in this matter. In the article ‘Courts punish businesses for AI errors’, lawyer Katarzyna Bando-Tylińska says that cases of serious damage to businesses caused by AI are only just beginning. ‘Artificial intelligence does not have legal personality, so responsibility for its activities falls on humans,’ emphasises our Expert.
Women’s Councils in Local Government Units
In turn, in the text by Krzysztof Bałękowski, our expert Aneta Gęsiarz-Krasucka looked at a project prepared by the Minister for Equality, devoted to women’s councils, a new institution being introduced in municipalities, districts and provinces.
She emphasises that the idea and direction are correct. However, she asks whether adding new institutions to laws really strengthens local democracy or rather limits the ability of local governments to respond to the real, changing needs of communities. At the same time, she stresses that, in her opinion, it is not only the creation of councils that is key, but also ensuring that they are effective and have a real impact.
