Abstract

This work aims to explore how workers, as data subjects, experience the effects of AI in recruitment, facing multiple layers of vulnerability as conceptualized by Florencia Luna in her theory of 'Layers of Vulnerability'. Following this reasoning, it examines the scope and limitations of personal data protection laws, with a particular focus on Law No. 13,709/2018 (LGPD), which aims to safeguard individuals' rights within this context. To envision future developments, the discussion will include legislative initiatives on the subject, emphasizing the importance of participation from all social actors in promoting the responsible use of AI in employment relations.
