The National AFL-CIO has released new polling showing more than 90% of Working People favor job and privacy protections from Artificial Intelligence (AI) - and overwhelmingly trust Unions, over either political party, to deliver them. The research - conducted in collaboration with David Binder Research, focus groups and surveys from Data for Progress, amount to the most in-depth study of Workers’ attitudes toward AI. The polling surveyed Working People on the National AFL-CIO’s Workers First Initiative on AI, the Labor Movement’s principles for the development and implementation of AI that ensures Workers reap the benefits of the technology. More than nine in 10 respondents support most of these guardrails, including requirements for training, transparency and accountability. Key findings include: 1. Unions are the most credible messenger on AI for Workers; 2. The National AFL-CIO’s Workers First Initiative on AI has a broad consensus among voters; 3. Across the political spectrum, Workers are concerned about AI as an issue of freedom and privacy - and don’t believe their employers are doing enough.
