Through 2023, our Co-Chairs Matt Warman MP and Lord Jim Knight are conducting a Future of Work Review, with support from IFOW as strategic research partner. In the context of the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, this session of the review focused on workplace regulation and data rights in the age of AI and algorithmic systems.

During the event, expert speakers explored some of the following questions:

• How do existing laws or approaches need to be updated in response to the new opportunities and risks brought by AI and automation technologies that challenge traditional forms of protection at work?

• How should employers consult workers when designing, developing and deploying workplace AI systems?

• How can the principles of 'good work' be sustained and protected when AI systems are designed, developed and deployed?

• With legislation on workers' rights in relation to algorithmic systems and AI progressing in countries like the US, Canada, Germany and Japan, how can the United Kingdom create an overarching framework that allows innovation and social good to advance together?
