@thewhynotlab.com urges unions not to wait for regulation - act now. Map where AI and digital systems are used, hold management accountable, and draw clear red lines. Collective bargaining is our strongest tool to shape a fair digital future. 💪🤖

Next week. A timely Summit aimed at discussing whether, and if so how, #AIsystems are affecting the Nordic industrial relations models #IRModels 🎯 Friday Feb 13 in Oslo 🎯 Buy half-day or whole-day tickets 🎯 Book the governance workshop on the 14th In English. nordicaisummit.org/

K12 schools will open in the USA soon that exclusively will use #AI rather than teachers. Why would any parent send their kids there? gizmodo.com/arizona-scho... #edtech #AI #teachers

❓What can seat belt crash tests teach us about the requirements for #AI #governance? New podcast episode with me on #bias #discrimination in AI systems, #governance and workplace responsibility. www.thewhynotlab.com/podcasts/wom...

Have management forgotten their GDPR obligations (towards workers)? Much indicates they have! Read my latest post here: www.thewhynotlab.com/blog/gdprvio... #gdpr #workersrights #dpia #transparency #datarights.

🚨Alarmklokkerne blinker hastigt ved nyheden om den digitale taskforce for #kunstigintelligens. Målet er at spare mellem 10.000 og 99.000 årsværk i den offentlige sektor. Men hvad er det for et mål? En 🧵

This -- once again, people aren't against *technology writ large*. they're against technology that is at best stupid, at worst evil, made by the same set of billionaire men whose track record of prior tech has decimated whole industries and made people worse off

For alle os, der er afhængig af medicin for overhovedet at være til, så er sundhedsvæsenets stilhed omkring medicin prepping ufattelig larmende. #prepping #danmark @sophieloehde.venstre.dk

most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true 1/

Hi all. If you follow me and you haven't added a description of what you do/work on/are interested in, and you haven't add your name, I will block you.

AI regulation will not protect #fundamentalrights despite claims of the opposite. Read my thoughts on how we could rethink #digital regulation to truly center #humanrights & ultimately #democracy 👇 www.thewhynotlab.com/blog/rethink... Find Holistic AIs reg tracker here: tracker.holisticai.com/feed

Curious about how the 40-hour workweek became standard? 🕒 In a Social Science History paper I investigate which political parties pushed for—or resisted—working-time regulations from the late 19th to the 20th century.

We are automating jobs that many present and future workers rely on for an income. We must ask what the long term social consequences of this will be. Great article here from @nytimes.com Robots Struggle to Match Warehouse Workers on ‘Really Hard’ Jobs www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/b...

Quite like this essay from Gelman, @economeager.bsky.social, and friends "Toward a taxonomy of trust for probabilistic machine learning" Basically, the failure points for trust across the machine learning pipeline

#digitaltechnologies by nature are manipulative. Inferences, profiling, and the use of said are limiting, defining, enabling, fragmenting. 📣 I call on governments to add that humans must have a right to be free from algorithmic manipulation as a condition for the realisation of #humanrights

Very interesting read on the Trust Thermocline. I imagine @garius.bsky.social that the same logic applies to public services who are going digital without regard to the effect on public trust?

Take a wild guess who appointed that judge. That’s right — Donald Trump. Thanks to him, 4 million people will no longer get a raise. It’s far from the first time he’s cheated working class people out of their money, and it certainly won’t be the last.

Recent blog post about regulating #digitalplatforms, what we can learn from regulatory developments in Europe, and why the upcoming #ILO instrument should apply to all workers who are subjected to #algorithmicmanagement www.thewhynotlab.com/blog/dontsay...

Here is a list of tools and guides I have developed or been part of a team of developers to empower #workers in #digitalised workplaces. 1. Weclock. www.weclock.it WeClock is an #opensource privacy preserving app to help workers collect their own data to challenge/campaign working conditions.

@levin.bsky.social could you kindly add me to labour union people starter pack?

Morning all. Bluesky questions❓ 1. Is it possible to search for starterpacks? 2. Is it possible to pin the starterpacks that I am included in to remain up to date with members?

#gdpr question. A 🧵 I am struggling to understand Article 13 and 14 when related to management-employees in workplaces. Example. Management logs clock in and out times via employees electronic key card. /Continued

One of The Why Not Lab's most appreciated tools for #workers is this one: www.workersdatarights.org It's currently specific for workers under the #GDPR and the South African #popia. Are you interested in contributing to adding other countries and/or translations let me know! #strongertogether

Hoping to build my network here and happy to connect with folks interested in the #digitalisation of the #labourmarket. I focus on #workersrights #AI #regulation #datarights #humanrights #platformworkers #gigworkers #tradeunions (and more!)
