Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Rapid technological advancement only delivers widespread social progress when working people are empowered -- at work, in the wider economy and in political processes. Through working with our affiliate unions and millions of workers and allies, the TUC seeks to shape AI in the workplace and at the highest levels of policy in favour of working people.

Empowering people through data intermediaries
Our core mission is to protect and advance the interests of working people. How workers’ personal data is captured, analysed, and used in the workplace – as well as how workers and their unions can access and benefit from that data – is a key concern for the TUC. It is crucial that workers have rights to access their own data, are protected from employer misuse of data and are informed about these rights.
