Comment by Frances O'Grady

This is a fork in the road. AI at work could be used to improve productivity and working lives, but it is already being used to make life-changing decisions about people at work—like who gets hired and fired. Without fair rules, the use of AI at work could lead to widespread discrimination and unfair treatment—especially for those in insecure work and the gig economy. Every worker must have the right to have AI decisions reviewed by a human manager. And workplace AI must be harnessed for good, not to set punishing targets and rob workers of their dignity.
