I think the biggest mistake is to organising as actions separate from collective bargaining. To strengthen unions, regardless of where we are we need focus on building every aspect as if we’re going to loose institutional influence

AI in action: How unions are using AI today Join us tomorrow for a unique workshop! www.eventbrite.com/e/1217679485...

Nearly 100 responses in and we can see that nearly half of union staff think that their union is not engaged in AI being used for internal operations or projects. Not surprised. More surprising is 1 in 3 saying their union is not engaged in policy, representation, advocacy on AI impacting members.

Just over week ago we launched the first ever global survey of trade union staff on #AI. We want to know their experience, hopes and fears with AI. What have we learned so far? @nickscott.digital asked AI to help with a quick analysis. youtu.be/crDhhik-Qpk

This final question in the survey of union staff on their experiences and views of AI is a gold mine. Here’s my favourite response so far.

A comment from a union staff member who just filled in our survey on AI use in unions: “I *think* that many colleagues are using AI, I don't know because, as an organisation, we're not talking about it, and I think this is a problem” We couldn’t agree more.

Great setting in Dublin for @unions21.org future leaders programme at the Communication Workers Union Ireland, overlooking GAA HQ. Already fascinating discussion with participants on purpose, mission and values.

Have you tried hiring anyone for a job recently? Been frustrated by having to wade through dozens of job applications generated by #ChatGPT or other generative #AI tools? You're not alone! And union HR officers are feeling the pain. www.agileunions.ai/p/job-applic...

Job applications are the visible tip of the AI iceberg for unions

The question isn't whether AI will transform how people engage with unions - it's already happening. The question is whether we're ready to shape that transformation.
