Abstract
AI could be used to advance equality at work, or could lead to growing inequality in the workplace. This seminar examines the ways in which AI could be equality-enhancing, or equality-detracting, and the measures that need to be taken to ensure AI is a tool that strengthens workplace equality. It considers how discrimination law might respond to the emergence of new technologies, and the gaps that might emerge when relying on individual claims and complaints to address discrimination occasioned by AI. Rather than relying on individual action, this seminar considers how collective action and other regulatory tools could be used to ensure AI benefits everyone at work.
