The decisions politicians make right now on AI are going to shape the next 50 years for working people — and whether or not we have a future that belongs to ALL of us, not just big tech billionaires. It’s time for elected officials to stand with working people in this AI future.
AFL-CIO ✊@AFLCIO

AFL-CIO President @LizShuler joined America’s unions and @SenSanders today on Capitol Hill to deliver a message: the race to advance AI with no guardrails for workers is reckless. Workers need a voice at the table to decide their futures and how AI is used in their workplaces.

We appreciate the bipartisan support of our AI principles, which will protect our jobs and rights. There is no worker or industry that AI won’t touch. It’s more critical than ever for our leaders to stand with working people and support AI guardrails.
Senator Mark Kelly@SenMarkKelly

It's pretty simple: AI’s impact will be determined by the people who put it to use. I'm pushing the Trump Administration to include workers in shaping AI policy, starting with the @AFLCIO’s principles to protect workers.

The Trump administration wants to access detailed medical records from millions of federal workers with no clear guardrails on how that data would be used or protected. This intrusion into people’s private health information is unacceptable! cbsnews.com/news/trump-fed…

How many times do we have to say it? DOGE has NO reason to have their hands on our sensitive Social Security data. govexec.com/management/202…

Leaders across the aisle see what working people already know: new technology can strengthen our economy & workplaces. But it has to raise standards, not erode them. That means worker voices, real guardrails, & accountability in how AI is used on the job. punchbowl.news/article/tech/k…

“AI can support innovation, new industries, and expanded opportunity, but its impact will ultimately be determined by the working people whose skill and judgment put those tools to use,” Kelly and Fitzpatrick wrote, in backing the @AFLCIO's AI Principles. fedscoop.com/federal-ai-pol…

There is no worker or industry that AI and new tech don’t or won’t touch. Every job is now a technology job. At the Workers First AI Summit, working people came together to chart a path forward for an AI future that respects workers’ rights and protects our jobs and freedoms.

Workers aren’t anti-tech. But no one should be surveilled, discriminated against, or fired by an algorithm. As AI reshapes our jobs, unions are stepping up to set the rules and protect workers’ rights where policymakers won’t. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…

A top-down approach to implementing AI systems in the workplace leaves workers behind. Learn more about why working people must have a voice in shaping the development and adoption of technologies in their workplaces and communities: aflciotechinstitute.org/policy/AIHarmI…

No matter what industry you work in, every working person will feel the impact of AI, including those in transportation jobs. @TTDAFLCIO President Greg Regan is right: we need guardrails to make sure this new tech doesn’t undermine our safety and protects our rights and our jobs.

AI is less regulated than sandwich shops. That’s a problem. There is no industry and no job that AI won’t touch. That’s why working people’s voices need to be heard—and why we need AI guardrails now to protect our jobs, our rights and our freedoms. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Billionaires are using AI to take our jobs and keep the profits for themselves—and they’ve got way too much control over our government. We’re not going to let them take what we’ve built. The way we fight back and take control is simple: join a union. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

We’re ready to build a future that works for all working people, not just big tech billionaires.
Liz Shuler@LizShuler

After today’s @AFLCIOTech Workers First AI Summit, one thing is clear: workers are at the center of how this technology develops. We’re not anti-tech, we’re pro-worker. AI only works when it reflects the knowledge, skill and experience of the people doing the job.

We need a workers-first AI agenda that says: NO, you can’t surveil us. NO, you can’t steal our data. NO, you can’t discriminate against us or fire us because a machine said so. We can create a future where our job sites are fair and workers have a voice at the table.
