AI Awareness: Making AI Work For Workers
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are being rolled out in telecoms and financial service industries – from contact centres and field operations, to telecoms engineers and desk-based roles. While these new systems might promise efficiency and cost savings, most benefits will be directed to employers and shareholders.
CWU is actively campaigning to make sure there is:
- Worker Voice, in the roll-out of AI in workplaces – at all levels of technology decision making, design and deployment.
- Workers have a fair share of the benefit of AI that lead to a better work life balance – through wages, new skills, working hours, and training.
- Safeguards from bias and discrimination. No AI system should be introduced without worker input, safeguards and clear rules.
What are our goals?
Reach a collective agreement that covers:
- Transparency
- Mandatory Algorithmic Impact Assessments
- Job Security and Skills
- Redeployment and Skills Enhancement
- Data Rights, Ethical Use and Surveillance Limits
- Redress, Human Control, Accountability and Non-Discrimination
