The race for AI is about economic change & how we handle it, as much as it is about technologies.
That needs a focus on everyday AI and what it means for people & jobs not just tech.

Tech Transformed is Saturday, and our second session of the day will be with... Adam Cantwell-Corn!
Alongside the TUC's Mary Towers and other reps from the labour movement, Adam will be discussing how trade unions need to respond as workers move into a Fourth Industrial Revolution ✊💻
Tech Workers Branch Committee Vice Chair Domanic Smith-Jones attended the UNI Global Union ICTS Conference in Cape Town recently 💻
Domanic introduced Prospect’s motion on the regulation of AI, with Uni Global delegates from across the world voting in favour.
Reported in Politico, today with Trades Union Congress and Open Rights Group we're calling out how the hand waving at ‘inclusivity’ amounts to little when select corporations, govs and narrow perspectives are still dictating the trajectory of AI. #AISeoulSummit
Thank you Chuck Schumer and the Senate A.I. Working Group. 'Leader Schumer and the Senate working group have produced a roadmap we hope Congress will follow quickly and implement its component parts as soon as possible. Again, we thank and commend the Leader and his team.”
