Artificial Intelligence Transparency will Fight the Dehumanization of the American Workforce, says AFL-CIO Equity Index Funds Shareholder Proposal

As companies increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) technology into their workflow, they introduce a variety of significant social policy concerns. The AI dehumanization of the American workforce threatens the very framework of the nation’s economy and endangers the existence of the already dwindling middle class while introducing the potential for discrimination in employment decisions. Other perils include sudden mass layoffs due to job automation, the misuse of customer and employee private data and the creation of “deepfake” media content that may be used to disseminate false information.
