Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with reference to the report 'Strike while AI is hot' by the Institute for Public Policy Research, whether his Department plans to give employees new rights to shape AI's deployment in the workplace.

New technologies, including AI, have the potential to boost wages, drive up productivity and empower workers, but they may also pose risks. This Government’s plan to make work pay will help bring employment rights legislation into the twenty first century.

The government has committed to ensuring worker voice is at the heart of Britain's digital transition by working with trade unions, workers, employers and experts. We will be launching a public consultation on the use of workplace monitoring technologies to continue this dialogue and ensure workplace technologies benefit everyone.
