BRITAIN is “losing race against time” to regulate AI in the workplace and is at risk of becoming an “international outlier,” the TUC warned as it launches its new AI Employment Bill today.
The union federation says the pace of AI’s development is leaving many workers legally vulnerable to exploitation and discrimination and that AI regulation in the workplace is an “urgent national priority.”
It has published its “ready-to-go” legal blueprint for regulating AI after months of work by its AI taskforce advised by legal and tech experts, trade unions, and a cross-party group of MPs.
It is only trade union power at work that will materially improve the lot of working people as a class but without sector-wide collective bargaining and a right to take sympathetic strike action, we are hamstrung in the fight to tilt back the balance of power, argues ADRIAN WEIR
