By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The report, supported by the TUC, suggests that employees need more bargaining power to ensure the benefits of AI are shared equitably. Recommendations include a statutory duty for employers to consult staff on AI implementation and a new 'worker support levy' to provide portable benefits and enhance negotiation capabilities. AI
