Microsoft Australia and the ACTU agree on worker involvement in AI, focusing on training, consultation, and protections.
Microsoft Australia has signed a landmark agreement with the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), the first of its kind in the country, to ensure workers have a formal role in shaping AI adoption.
The deal, developed after more than a year of negotiations, focuses on AI skills training, worker consultation in technology development, and joint policy efforts.
It includes AI education for union leaders, worker representation in AI rollout processes, and protections for creative workers whose content is used to train generative AI.
The agreement aims to balance AI-driven productivity with worker rights, addressing concerns over job losses and surveillance.
Government officials and industry leaders have praised it as a model for inclusive technology integration, supporting Australia’s National AI Plan and an estimated $115 billion in economic growth by 2030.
