What Union Leaders Need to Know about Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming workplaces across the United States. While AI can be used to improve safety and efficiency, many employers use it to cut jobs, reduce labor costs, and expand worker surveillance. Without strong worker voice, collective bargaining, and enforceable safeguards, AI poses serious risks for workers in nearly every industry.

Join union leaders and activists from across Pennsylvania for a one-day conference to learn:

  • How Al technologies are being used in workplaces
  • The key risks Al poses for union members
  • Which members are most vulnerable
  • Bargaining strategies to control employer use of Al
  • Approaches unions can use to ensure Al supports—not replaces-workers
  • State and Federal policies that can be passed to protect worker rights, privacy, and dignity

This conference is jointly sponsored by the PA AFL-CIO and The LABOR School at Penn State.
