title = "Empowering Workers in the Age of Automation: Labour Union's Response to the Rise of Artificial Intelligence",
abstract = "Over the past several years, automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have advanced rapidly and begun to drive changes in the way that people work. It discusses the heterogeneous influence of these technologies on jobs and stresses that labour unions and education will remain crucial for empowering workers. It starts with the historical background of unions and technological change, focusing on how unions have adapted to protect workers in the shifting industrial context. Next, the authors discuss today's union tactics like bargaining over tech, lobbying in Washington for job-retraining programs and forming partnerships with community colleges to solve skill shortages. This chapter argues that only through pro-active engagement by workers, employers and governments can it hope to ensure equitable outcomes from technological change. Promoting a mindset of lifelong learning and partnership will ultimately be essential for building an adaptable workforce that can succeed in a world with ever-growing technology.",
