AI At Work: Staff 'Hired and Fired By Algorithm'
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) is calling for new legal protections for workers, warning that they could soon be "hired and fired by algorithm." "Among the changes it is calling for is a legal right to have any 'high-risk' decision reviewed by a human," reports the BBC. From the report: TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said the use of AI at work stood at "a fork in the road." "AI at work could be used to improve productivity and working lives. But it is already being used to make life-changing decisions about people at work -- like who gets hired and fired. "Without fair rules, the use of AI at work could lead to widespread discrimination and unfair treatment -- especially for those in insecure work and the gig economy," she warned. The union body is calling for:- An obligation on employers to consult unions on the use of "high risk" or "intrusive" AI at work- The legal right to have a human review decisions- A legal right to "switch off" from work and not be expected to answer calls or emails- Changes to UK law to protect against discrimination by algorithmRead more of this story at Slashdot.
