As governments lift “shelter-at-home” orders, employers face difficult decisions relating to the fundamental concern of keeping their employees safe.

The public’s tolerance for sharing personal data for the greater good may be heightened in the short term as we continue developing harm-reduction technologies to battle and fight spread of the virus, but a long-term view of employee privacy will be imperative for continued successful integration of AI in the workplace.
