The TUC calls for urgent AI regulation in UK workplaces, proposing new legal rights and protections.
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has urged for the urgent regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK workplace, as existing UK employment law fails to keep pace with technological advancements. The TUC has published a legal blueprint for regulating AI, including new legal rights and protections, such as requiring employers to consult trade unions on high-risk AI applications and protection against unfair dismissal by AI systems. The TUC warns that the UK risks becoming an international outlier on AI regulation, as other countries, like the US, China, Canada, and EU member states, are implementing new AI laws.
