Recommendations for working life
AI is gradually transforming jobs and working conditions, creating new opportunities and demanding new skills. AI can take over routine tasks. Other tasks may become more versatile, meaningful and challenging.
There is a need for equal access to education and training to ensure competence building and re-training of employees. It is a social responsibility to make sure everyone benefits from AI.
The network stresses the benefits and usefulness of:
- Involving employees in the implementation process of AI
- Cooperation between employers and employees to ensure essential skills and competencies
- Making sure that leaders and union representatives have a possibility to obtain insight and knowledge about new technologies
- Small projects using a step-by-step approach is recommended when trying out new technologies such as AI. This gives an opportunity to try and fail, learn and adjust without too big and risky investments, while ensuring the employees right to codetermination. In this way, both the aim of better productivity and of good working conditions are emphasised.
