Can Europe’s AI rules turn worker protections into a competitive edge?
The article discusses Europe's approach to regulating artificial intelligence (AI) development, which contrasts with the US's more hands-off approach. Unlike the US, Europe has implemented a series of regulations, including the Data Protection Act, GDPR, and the AI Act, that align more closely with local workers' laws and unions. A joint study by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and Poland's National Research Institute (NASK) found that Europe, along with Asia, is the region most exposed to the potential impact of AI on jobs, with one in four jobs at risk of being transformed by the technology. The article suggests that Europe's regulatory approach to AI may turn worker protections into a competitive edge, as the continent seeks to balance technological progress with the welfare of its workforce.
