Labor Organizing and Artificial Intelligence

Labor organizing in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly critical as automation and algorithm-driven decision-making reshape the workplace. AI technologies are being used to monitor productivity, manage schedules, and even make hiring and firing decisions—often without transparency or worker input. In response, labor organizers are mobilizing to ensure that workers have a voice in how these tools are implemented, demanding ethical guidelines, accountability, and protections against job displacement and surveillance. By advocating for stronger collective bargaining rights and inclusive tech governance, labor movements are working to ensure that AI serves to enhance, rather than undermine, worker dignity and economic security.
