Humans must stay in control of AI, European trade union chief warns

European trade union chief Esther Lynch has called for regulations to ensure humans remain in control as AI technology advances rapidly. Lynch warns against a scenario where workers are subject to the will of machines, emphasizing the need for the “human-in-control principle.” She highlights the importance of involving workers and their unions in the introduction of AI to ensure better outcomes. Wealth division, rising prices, and inflation will also be key topics discussed at the four-day ETUC Congress in Berlin.
