Abstract

The 5th Industrial Revolution promises a new era of advanced cooperation between humans and intelligent machines, bringing profound transformations in work relationships. Based on bibliographical and documental research, this article explores the impacts of these changes on workers' personal rights, highlighting the importance of legal foundations in order to minimize legal uncertainty. The qualitative analysis covers the advancement of personality rights, the introduction of new technologies and strategies for disseminating knowledge, aiming to promote a fair and safe work environment. The objective is to evaluate how productive transformations that involve interrelationships – more than human-machine interaction, characteristic of previous industrial revolutions – can call into question the scope and limits of personality rights for non-human intelligence and the use of biopower techniques. The result is the realization of the pressing need to question our legal parameters with a possible new modeling that ensures fundamental rights, including those of personality discussed here, in a scenario that goes beyond the frontiers of human intelligence.
