Abstract
<jats:p>This article examines the evolving landscape of labour law in the context of increasing integration of artificial intelligence and algorithmic management systems in workplaces across South Asia. The region, known for its concentration of affordable labour, faces unique challenges as AI technology adoption accelerates, impacting worker rights and protections. Drawing upon existing literature and legal frameworks, this article explores how AI affects fundamental worker rights, focusing on non-discrimination and privacy. It highlights the inadequacy of current labour laws in addressing the risks posed by algorithmic tools and proposes solutions to bridge these gaps, including specific legislative amendments inspired by the French Labour Code and the establishment of a comprehensive regulatory framework for AI in South Asia. By addressing these concerns, this article contributes to the ongoing discourse on AI, labour law, and the future of work in South Asia, advocating for balanced, inclusive approaches that prioritize both technological progress and human welfare.</jats:p>
