UNI Global Union calls for worker involvement in shaping AI's future

She continued: "Workers don’t have confidence that employers will include them in decisions about how and where AI will be used, that their jobs are safe or that they will have a chance to learn the skills that will be required to move forward."

Hoffman emphasized the importance of social dialogue: "We know from history that an inclusive AI transition is possible but far from guaranteed. According to even modest projections, many millions are likely to be displaced by AI over the next five years."

Joining Hoffman were Guillaume Faury of Airbus, Gilbert F. Houngbo of the ILO, Denis Machuel of Adecco Group, and moderator Sana de Courcelles.

African Tech Workers Rising also featured at the summit with Sonia Kgomo representing data supply chain workers seeking better conditions and accountability from Big Tech.

Hoffman's participation highlighted the urgent need for collective bargaining and transparency regarding workplace technology use, especially concerning AI. She remains a prominent advocate for fair work practices in the digital era.
