""We are here to sound the alarms on AI," president of AFL-CIO Liz Shuler stated. "This race that everybody seems to think we're in to advance AI at all costs - with no guardrails or protections for people - is reckless and dangerous.""
""Human beings have to come first in this equation, not an afterthought," United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain emphasized. "A handful of billionaires want all the profits, but the working class has to get our fair share.""
""We need the Congress, we need this administration to actually put people first, to make sure that the human being is in charge of society, not a robot and not a chatbot," said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers."
Workers in the US are increasingly concerned about the impact of AI on jobs, prompting unions to unite against tech companies. Leaders, including Senator Bernie Sanders, advocate for a pause on AI development until adequate safety measures are established. Union representatives emphasize the need for human welfare to take precedence over technological advancement, arguing that the current push for AI lacks necessary protections for workers. They call for government action to ensure that human beings remain central in societal decisions, rather than allowing technology to dominate.
