United Tech and Allied Workers

UK technology-workers union and branch of the Communication Workers Union.

The UK-based Google DeepMind employees – who aim to become the first frontier artificial intelligence lab worldwide to unionise – sent a letter on Tuesday requesting management recognise the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Unite the Union as their official representatives. [...] Their demands also include restoring a scrapped commitment not to make AI weapons or surveillance tools, the creation of an independent ethics oversight body, and the individual right to refuse to contribute to projects on moral grounds.
