Abstract

The world of work is constantly changing, mainly due to the introduction of new information and communication technologies. Among these, companies are increasingly resorting to the use of digital algorithms of various kinds –job offers, access to employment, differences in working conditions, ways of measuring work performance, among others–. However, in the process of machine learning, there are still social biases that remain perennial in society.

Therefore, in this study, we will try to delve into possible gaps in justice that currently exist in digital algorithms applied in the field of work, providing possible proposals for improvement in order to achieve an algorithm oriented towards the achievement of justice from a broad and relational perspective.
