The role of the trade union movement in AI development
Trade unions also have a responsibility to contribute constructively to the development. We should not simply take on a reactive role responding to the initiatives of others. We also need to come up with solutions. Finansforbundet takes its responsibility seriously.
We are actively working to ensure that the labour movement:
- Finds a more powerful shared voice in the AI debate (for example through the Danish Trade Union Confederation)
- Participates actively to influence Danish and international forums on digitalisation
- Makes sure that delegates use their voices and influence – and possess the right qualifications to do so
- Takes part in establishing a national AI committee under the Danish Ministry of Employment, which will monitor the impact of AI on working life – putting employees at the centre.
