SUMMARY:WSLC: AI Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Washington State Labor Council (WSLC)\, AFL-CIO is hosting a summit on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technology on Thurs.\, April 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Teamsters Hall in Tukwila (14675 Interurban Ave S Suite 307\, Tukwila\, WA 98168). Doors will open at 8 a.m. and the event is free for union members to attend; a light breakfast and boxed lunches will be provided. \nAdditional info from the WSLC: \n“As artificial intelligence becomes more prominent in daily life and some workplaces\, organized labor is focusing on how the movement can ensure that development and deployment of this technology benefits working people\, improving working conditions rather than worsening them. As the labor movement in Washington state continues to develop a worker-centered approach to AI\, the Washington State Labor Council\, AFL-CIO is convening a gathering for members of the movement to learn\, strategize\, and organize around a future where AI benefits working people.” \n— \nYou can register at the link HERE.
