TRADE UNIONS queued up today to tell the Welsh government to heed workers’ warnings before embracing artificial intelligence to boost the Welsh economy.

The Welsh government was responding to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s call for AI to be used to drive economic growth and unions in Wales were quick to warn that they needed to have their concerns addressed.

Trade unions in Wales are part of the Welsh government’s social partnership mechanism and have told the government and employers that AI must not be used to undermine workers’ rights.
