on 25 May 2022, the IndustriAll Europe union federation, in its executive committee, adopted recommendations for action on artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure that AI contributes to quality employment and does not become a dystopian technology. The recommendations include principles for a « responsible and human-centric introduction » of AI in the workplace.
The federation recommends that trade unions and worker representatives be « provided with the means to be assisted by software engineers or data scientists to support them in these discussions ». It adds that ad hoc working groups (including European Works Councils) « could be set up to build up a specific trade union analysis of the impact of the introduction of cutting-edge technology (i.e. in the fields of human-machine interaction, human-computer interaction and AI) on work and employment.
