Artificial Intelligence and the Labour Market

Proceeding contribution from Mick Whitley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 April 2023. It occurred during Debate on Artificial Intelligence and the Labour Market.

I thank Members for their contributions this afternoon, which were eloquent and well put. It is good that we are bringing this issue to the seat of power—the seat of Government—so that Ministers understand our fears. While we embrace AI, there must be built-in protections for people because not all employers are good employers. There are some bad employers about who will take advantage of AI. We need safeguards for workers and people being replaced by machines. At the end of the day, this issue is coming down our street, so we will need to revisit it again and understand it better.

Question put and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this House has considered the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the labour market.

Sitting suspended.
