ALT Quote from Peter Cheese, Chief Executive, CIPD: "The investment in and adoption of rapidly advancing digital technologies in all forms will impact every organisation’s competitiveness and longer term survival. This important report based on a first national survey should act as a wake up call to policy makers and all business leaders and stakeholders. “There is evidence of clear divides emerging between companies and even sectors who are digital adaptors, and those who are not. Furthermore, the longstanding challenge in the UK of under investment in skills shows through, risking not just the ability of organisations to respond to changes, but also the concern of people being left behind. ”Now is the time to act. To engage across organisations, to experiment and innovate, and to think strategically and responsibly about the opportunities, and threats, from this digital revolution."
ALT Quote from Mary Towers, Future of work and AI lead, TUC: "This report is much-needed. It is really important that workers and unions are consulted over the use of next technology at work - rather than it being imposed. This will help build trust and help stop staff from being at risk of exploitation. “New forms of worker tech - like AI - are now making life-changing decisions over hiring, firing and performance management. “In addition to employers acting with transparency, we urgently need to beef up our regulatory framework. UK employment law is simply not keeping pace with developments in AI and other new forms of technology. This is leaving many vulnerable."
