Learning Collaborative on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Healthcare Unions and Union Leaders
Penn State’s Labor School has organized an AI Learning Collaborative for Healthcare Unions and Union Leaders. The Learning Collaborative is a network of healthcare union leaders and union activists who wish to learn more about artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and experts and facilitators who wish to share their knowledge and expertise on this critical issue.
The Collaborative provides several ways for healthcare union leaders and activists to learn more about AI through webinars, resources, a collection of contract language from healthcare contracts, and a conference planned for spring 2026.

The Learning Collaborative’s goal is to provide accurate, useful, and practical information to healthcare union leaders and activists on critical questions such as:
- What is AI?
- How can AI impact healthcare workplaces and workers?
- How can healthcare unions prepare themselves to ensure that the introduction of AI in their workplaces will improve patient care and the experience of workers and just not be used to cut jobs?
- How can healthcare union leaders and members have a voice in how AI is introduced in their workplace?
- What strategies (including contract language) have healthcare unions and union leaders developed to have a positive impact on the introduction of AI in their workplaces?
- The Learning Collaborative will initially focus on AI in healthcare workplaces. But the resources on AI for workers and unions on our website will include information of interest to unions in any industry.
