In this webinar, a panel of experts will explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the world of work and the implications for labour relations:
- Are concerns about AI’s impact on work overblown? Is this technological advance really different from previous technological revolutions that raised similar concerns about unemployment and the dehumanization of work?
- What aspects of work are most likely to be affected by AI? Is replacement of workers the only concern? Is encroachment upon employee privacy also of concern?
- Will human resources be taken over by “algorithmic management,” e.g. filtering applications for employment, assessing employee performance, making decisions regarding termination of employment?
- Will AI take over labour relations tasks such as writing policies, interpreting contract language, drafting grievances, researching law, formulating arguments based on precedent, or even deciding the outcome of grievances?
- What privacy issues are raised by the introduction of new AI technologies into the workplace? What lessons can be learned from recent arbitration decisions?
- How should parties address concerns about work intensification related to AI?
- How can workplace parties use AI to render it an “asset” while avoiding the drawbacks that may render it an “adversary”?
