AI must be used to enhance public services, not replace workers, says UNISON | News, Press release | News | UNISON National
UK workers have vast expertise andย insightย that can help shape AI development in waysย toย benefit everyone
โIf AI is to play a positive role in public services, it must be managed carefully and responsibly. That means proper input from workers and all parts of society to ensure itโs not only the voice of big tech being heard.โ
