Centre for Future Work’s Post

Our latest submission explores key questions arising from the digitisation of work. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we work and the jobs we do. While AI innovations can have positive benefits in workplaces, including through productivity gains, they also carry significant risks for workers and for job quality. AI applications can be designed and used to augment workers’ capacity and free up time for more meaningful or creative work. Or they can be designed and used in ways that intensify work and displace workers. Even when designed for benevolent purposes, unintended consequences can arise from the adoption of AI at work. Consequences include serious breaches of privacy, bias and discrimination in recruitment and hiring, and unfair decision-making in performance measurement and evaluation. The Centre for Future Work submission to the Inquiry on the Digital Transformation of Workplaces argues that the promotion of AI innovation must not overshadow objectives and principles for decent jobs and fairness at work. The Submission sets out principles for new laws to regulate the uses of AI in workplaces with a goal of protecting workers. Check out our submission on the Centre's website https://lnkd.in/gNpMnYUr
