"This guide sets outs how AI systems work, what the implications are for workers and unions, and some of the solutions unions can provide.
At first glance, artificial intelligence (AI) can seem like an impenetrable subject, but workers must have a say in how AI is used at work. If this is left to bosses and tech companies, workers' rights and interests will be overlooked.
Recruitment and management by AI is increasingly common in workplaces across the country. The price of this can be discrimination, overwork and invasion of privacy. These issues demand urgent attention.
As one of the few remaining counterbalances to the power associated with global tech companies and commercial control over data, unions have a key role to play in both protecting workers against the risks associated with AI at work, as well as ensuring they benefit from the opportunities offered by AI."
