The introduction of new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in the workplace can help to improve work for staff and make it fairer, safer, faster, less monotonous, more productive, but it may put some jobs at risk. It may require many workers to retrain and learn new skills.
It is important that this is recognised and action is ongoing so that workers are always prepared and ready. Whilst some sectors may have expanded as a result of technological innovation, others have found that new technology has replaced labour. For employers, it is expected that new technology will increase their productivity and profits. Workers too should be able to share in the benefits of new technology and be assured that their interests are protected.
The aim of this brief introductory session is to introduce activists to some of the terminology around the technology, to highlight some of the issues arising from its use and to devise an approach to organising around it.
