Labour leaders are calling on the federal government to enact legislation that would mandate employers to consult with employees and unions before they introduce artificial intelligence systems in the workplace.
A number of representatives from major unions – including Unifor, the United Food and Commercial Workers and the Canadian Union of Public Employees – met last week with Evan Solomon, the federal Minister of AI, to express concerns over the lack of worker input in Ottawa’s national AI strategy. A day later, Mr. Solomon announced that the government would create an AI and Labour Advisory Council to give workers and unions a say in shaping AI policy.

This should be interesting.

In 1999 the retard unions likely wanted to be consulted before search engines could be used.

Unions are fucking stupid anyway all the things they did fight for back in the day are now just common law on a job site.

They were also meant to be led by the local people for the local people now they're just big mega conglomerates that they were meant to fight in the first place.

If I could hate union anymore than I do, I'd open the gates to hell. Absolutely retarded legislation. The union should be fined for even suggesting it.

Don't worry I am sure the banker has only the best interests of organized labour in mind.
