Valuable piece here by The Labour Party's Harriet Harman about how in the age of AI:
We need policy making reform to 'get swift, smart laws & regulations through parliament, expertly and in real-time' & how policy shouldn't just be left to the regulators. 👇

Report by Eleonora.Chiarella Sky News highlighting how letting AI make important decisions about people's livelihoods can go wrong- this is why Trades Union Congress agrees with Robin Allen - regulation is needed.
Thank you for inviting me to speak today on this fantastic panel, Wales TUC Cymru & Connected by Data
AI is impacting almost all workers and sectors, as we heard today. The only way to create and implement vital governance and regulation is to work together, as set out in the report!
UTAW’s Matt Buckley talks about the crucial role young workers are playing to increase trade union membership across tech companies in the U.K. and reinforces the need for trade union education to be implemented as part of the curriculum across our schools and colleges 👏
This report from Wales TUC Cymru Connected by Data will help put worker experience at the centre of the social partnership approach to AI developing in Wales - Welsh model shows us, collaboration is key to equitable AI🤝🏽:
We’ll be in the Welsh Parliament today with workers, Wales TUC Cymru, Jack Sargeant MS and Sarah Murphy MS to launch this report: connectedbydata.org/news/2024/01/2… #AI
Great work by my colleagues Wales TUC Cymru and Connected by Data, giving insights into workers' experience of AI - strong collective bargaining, regulation, consultation and social partnership all key to successful co-governance of AI at work:
Full ‘Robojudge’ isn’t here yet, but its predecessors are being deployed. So Robin Allen Dee Masters AI: Equality, Data Protection and Human Rights Cloisters say now really is the time to assess if #AI should be making high-risk, often subjective decisions about people & regulate it➡️bit.ly/3UclWKX
If the recent Horizon scandal is anything to go by, we should be alive to the scary realities around introducing #ArtificialInteligence without oversight and scrutiny with worker voice, front and centre of any decision making. Check-out Wales TUC Cymru Connected by Data latest report👇
An excellent article by Jack Sargeant MS on the challenges and opportunities for #AI !
We definitely do not have enough regulation to prevent mission creep and protect workers’ rights.
Looking forward to our Wales TUC Cymru and Connected by Data event on Wed at the #Senedd 👇
