TRADE unions launched a report on artificial intelligence (AI) at the Senedd today, warning that the technology is already here and workers in Wales are losing out.

The report from the Wales TUC documents for the first time how workers are being negatively affected by the unregulated introduction of AI into Welsh workplaces.

It details examples of AI being used to make people redundant, manage workers out of their jobs for not meeting targets set by the technology and put creative workers’ images, voices and creations at risk of being stolen.
