The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has said that the Government’s planned approach to the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) will “dilute” existing protections. The TUC, a federation of trade unions in England and Wales, also called for human review of workplace decisions reached via algorithm.
Last month’s white paper, which proposed that the regulation of AI should be spread across existing bodies rather than have a new watchdog, was “vague” and offered “flimsy” guidance, the TUC said . With “no additional capacity or resource to cope with rising demand”, there are also questions about how effective regulation can be, it argued.
