London

What is it like being managed by AI? What is the impact of AI in different sectors of work, like health, education and the creative arts?

As what has become known as the ‘fourth industrial revolution’ unfolds, how will legislators, regulators and policy makers respond?

The TUC is bringing together unions, politicians, regulators, think tanks, lawyers, technologists and employers to explore these questions and share ideas about how we can ensure that everyone benefits from advances in technology at work.

Join us for breakfast at the TUC’s Congress House, and then spend a morning in our Council Chamber for a lively discussion between some of the leading thinkers in the AI space.

In this fast-moving context of data reform, the AI White Paper, the EU AI Act, and ground-breaking technological developments like ChatGPT and DALL-E, there will be plenty to consider.

The TUC will also launch a TUC Education e-learning programme on AI at work.
