Dear Colleague,
Artificial Intelligence – Bitesize Sessions
The purpose of this LTB is to advise branches that the Equality, Education & Development Department has been working with the T&FS Executive on a project to raise awareness on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
A number of bitesize sessions have now been finalised and are due to take place on the dates below. The sessions will be 60 minutes long and will include a Q&A session.
Artificial Intelligence and digital systems are reshaping every industry and has become more widespread in the workplace, it has the potential to alter job security, pay and working conditions. Without union intervention, these technologies will be designed and deployed solely in the interests of employers. It’s imperative that unions and workers have a voice in any advancement of new technologies.
The bitesize sessions will be run by Adam Cantwell-Corn, who is a policy lead for the TUC Tech Project, as well as Head of Campaigns and Policy for Connected by Data. Adam has been working with the Telecoms and Financial Services Executive to develop the practical skills to identify and negotiate the impact of AI on workers.
Session 1: Thursday 13th November 10:00 – 11:00
This session will look at what Artificial Intelligence is (and what it isn’t). Look at some of the terminology that is being currently used and the different types of Artificial Intelligence.
Session 2: Thursday 20th November 10:00 – 11:00
This session will look at how Artificial Intelligence is being used more and more in the workplace. What Artificial Intelligence is currently being used for and the impacts it is having on workers. Also, what are the potential benefits and issues for CWU members.
The sessions are open to all CWU representatives who want to learn more about Artificial Intelligence, to register please email equality&education@cwu.org – a link will be sent to you by email before each session.
Yours sincerely,
Kate Hudson
Head of Equality, Education & Development
