The Trades Union Congress (TUC) is set to launch its AI regulation and employment rights Bill tomorrow, aiming to protect UK workers from the potential risks posed by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. This initiative seeks to address the rapid changes and significant impacts brought about by AI technologies on employment practices. Concerns have been raised about the current pace of UK employment law which is not keeping up with these technological advancements, and the potential threat AI poses to day-to-day lives. The TUC's proposal comes as part of a broader call for urgent legislative action to safeguard workers' rights in the face of evolving AI applications, amidst government complacency on the issue.
We URGENTLY need an AI Employment Bill to keep pace with rapid change and to protect workers. We’re losing the race against time. 🧵 1/4
AI is already making life-changing decisions about the way people work. But UK employment law is simply not keeping pace. The TUC has today published a ‘ready-to-go’ Bill for regulating AI in the workplace. It’s time to make sure AI works for all. 1/2 https://t.co/d9ID7KEguY

📣Time and time again we have been told that unregulated AI could pose a real threat to our day to day lives. I challenged the Secretary of State on why this complacent Tory Government has continuously dragged its feet on much needed safeguards for advanced AI models. https://t.co/e3Yo9mbzlC
Tomorrow @The_TUC will officially launch its AI regulation and employment rights Bill so I asked the Government if they had any plans to ensure workers rights aren't weakened because of developments in artificial intelligence in the workplace https://t.co/m0Ja3VTcWA
