Employee supervision methods that may violate employee rights

Publication date: April 15, 2025

Monitoring employees at work is a common practice in many organizations. The tools used for such monitoring are designed to assess employee performance and time spent on individual tasks. This system has proven useful during the pandemic, when many people switched to remote work and the supervisor’s supervision was significantly reduced. However, employee control must be applied in a manner consistent with legal regulations, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires employers to protect employee privacy. There are a number of monitoring methods that can lead to serious violations of these rights if they are not used in accordance with the appropriate rules. Recently, there has been a boom in such methods for monitoring employees, such as keylogging – measuring keyboard keystrokes in a given unit of time, tracking what someone is typing on the keyboard, recording mouse movements, or the number of logins to a given system.

Training algorithms on collected medical data – a convenience or a threat? Can AI issue final diagnosis? Is it legal?

Publication date: April 15, 2025

The purpose of data collection and its types.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning in medicine are areas that have gained importance in recent years. AI algorithms have been used to support clinical decision-making and image analysis. Doctors receive suggestions on the choice of therapy, drugs and the assessment of potential side effects.

In the area of medical imaging, machine learning is used to analyze computed tomography, X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging to identify pathological changes that could be missed by radiologists. Studies show that artificial intelligence algorithms achieve results comparable to, and in many cases even better than, the best diagnosticians. The effect of these actions is a reduction in the percentage of false positive diagnoses that indicate the presence of a disease, which in turn reduces unjustified anxiety among patients. Scientists from the United States have confirmed that decision-support tools can reduce the percentage of false positive diagnoses and improve drug dosing. Experts predict significant savings in the healthcare sector, provided that solutions based on artificial intelligence are consistently implemented. However, the implementation of AI in medicine raises numerous legal and ethical challenges that require special attention, especially in the context of medical data protection.

In–Flight Connectivity and legal provisions

Publication date: April 15, 2025

What is IFC and what role does it play in modern aviation?

In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) is a technology that allows passengers and crew to access the internet and communication services during the flight. Thanks to the use of IFC, travelers can use services that require an internet connection.

IFC is based on data transmission technologies:

  • Satellite Communications – The aircraft is equipped with antennas that communicate with geostationary or low-Earth orbit satellites. The signal is transmitted from the aircraft to the satellite, and then to a ground station, from where it is transmitted to the global Internet network. Earth satellites offer lower latency and higher data rates than geostationary satellites.
  • Air-ground communications – Aircraft connecting to ground base stations using antennas directed toward the ground. The signal is transmitted between the ground stations and the aircraft in real time. This technology is particularly effective in land areas with a dense network of base stations.
