Union group claims using artificial intelligence to hire and fire staff could lead to greater discrimination.
The TUC is calling for stronger rules to protect workers from decisions made by artificial intelligence systems.
"That is why we are working with businesses and regulators to ensure AI is used safely and responsibility in business settings." Left unchecked, it argues, AI could lead to greater discrimination at work. For example tools that analyse facial expressions, may disadvantage candidates or employees with certain disabilities.However, some of the firms promoting AI tools argue that conversely computer systems will make more impartial decisions than humans alone.
The TUC warns AI could "set unrealistic targets that then result in workers being put in dangerous situations that impact negatively on their both physical health and mental well being". It also suggested the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, which had its second reading Monday, will water down many protections in current data protection legislation - including the right to human review of automated decisions.The TUC wants firms to reveal how AI is being used to make decisions about staff. All decisions should be subject to a human review so that workers may challenge them, it says.
