No Worker Left Behind: Labor’s Plan for the AI Era

Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, how we communicate, and how we live — but who’s making sure workers aren’t left behind?

In the latest episode of Solidarity Works, we sit down with Ed Wytkind, Interim Executive Director of the AFL-CIO Technology Institute, to talk about the federation’s new Workers First Initiative on AI.

The initiative lays out a bold plan to make sure technology serves people — not the other way around — by putting worker voices at the center of innovation, bargaining, and public policy.

From protecting jobs and privacy to creating new opportunities for skill building and organizing, we explore what a fair and democratic AI future could look like when labor leads the way.
