As recently noted by the U.S. Department of Labor, the scope and nature of how Artificial Intelligence will change the workplace remains uncertain. AI can positively augment work by replacing and automating repetitive tasks or assisting with routine decisions, which may reduce the burden on workers and allow them to better perform other responsibilities. Consequently, the introduction of AI-augmented work will create demand for workers to gain new skills and training to learn how to use AI in their day-to-day work. AI will also continue creating new jobs, including those focused on the development, deployment, and human oversight of AI.
But AI-augmented work also poses risks if workers no longer have autonomy and direction over their work or their job quality declines. The risks of AI for workers are greater if it undermines workers' rights, embeds bias and discrimination in decision-making processes, or makes consequential workplace decisions without transparency, human oversight and review. There are also risks that workers will be displaced entirely from their jobs by AI.
President Biden and the U.S. Department of Labor have both weighed in on the topic and issued regulatory guidance to assist Employers in navigating this novel issue. This course will guide Employers through the balance of using AI to enhance productively with workers rights.
This course will help Employers harness the potential of artificial intelligence to spur innovation and advance opportunity, while also taking action to ensure workers share in these gains.
