McFerran Urges Business Leaders to Invest in Workers
AFL-CIO Tech Institute Executive Director Lauren McFerran joined Washington Post Intelligence to discuss how AI is disrupting the modern workplace.
During the panel, McFerran urged business leaders to embrace worker voices across the innovation ecosystem and to invest heavily in their human workforce to prepare for the economy of the future. She noted that employers are realizing the American public is aware of the risks posed by rapid and unregulated AI proliferation, and that industry must prioritize workers’ interests and take a more thoughtful, careful approach to the deployment of AI products in the workplace.
