The people vs. the future: does AI threaten workers' rights?

The Trade Union Congress represents 5.5 million UK trade union members, and is preparing for a fight. On Monday they announced [[link removed]] the creation of an AI taskforce to assess the threats they believe the new technology poses to workers, including the infringement of privacy, work intensification and the potential for discrimination. They plan to produce a draft law which could counteract these issues.

These fears are well-founded, but could AI also support workers’ rights? A recent OECD survey [[link removed]] found that 65% of workers in manufacturing jobs stated that the use of AI has improved their physical health. In large part, this is down to the technology’s capabilities to improve the safe use of machines.

AI and jobs: What does it mean for workers’ rights? [[link removed]]

Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are reshaping the workplace and being incorporated into anything from marketing to customer service and content creation – with users touting greater efficiency and reduced costs.

But tech experts and activists have warned of a lack of regulation to prevent misuse, the risk of discrimination against some workers, and the potential for inequality as certain types of jobs are automated faster than others.

Future Work: Tech’s impact on jobs and economies [[link removed]]

From AI to app-based jobs, technology is reshaping the workplace.

For some it's bringing flexibility and new opportunities, while others are facing pitfalls such as low-paid platform work or seeing their creative work copied online by AI bots. Meanwhile, organisations and legal systems are struggling to keep pace with the development of artificial intelligence and tools like ChatGPT.
