Trade union leaders will examine the rising risks posed by artificial intelligence during a key speech at this year’s TUC Congress, with calls expected to focus on safeguarding jobs, worker rights, and ethical standards amid rapid technological advancement. The discussion follows mounting debates over AI’s unchecked development and its potential to disrupt labor markets, prompting unions to push for stronger regulations and protections. Industry experts and policymakers will likely weigh in on whether current frameworks are sufficient—or if urgent reforms are needed—to ensure AI benefits society without exacerbating inequality or job insecurity. The session comes as AI adoption accelerates across sectors, raising questions about accountability, transparency, and the future of work.
Louise Haigh is set to address growing concerns over AI safety on Tuesday in comments at the TUC Congress.
