Can we have a progressive pro-worker AI strategy? Panel on workers, unions, tech and power.
Right now, progressives are playing catch-up on how AI and technology is reshaping work – and in turn our day to day experiences, as well as key issues of wealth distribution and concentration of economic power.
While governments, tech giants and management consultants race ahead with AI development and deployment, workers and unions are working hard to build momentum to respond. But can we ever have progressive pro-worker AI Strategy?
We’re bringing together speakers from across the trade unions and legal sector to ask: How do we defend workers and shape technological change? Can we turn AI from a threat into a site of democratic power?
Moving on from the theoretical we want to focus on what narratives, organising, policy and legal regimes we need to get there. The event will be a mix of panel discussion, open conversation and social to build relationships and momentum across a range of perspectives.
