Dear Comrades and Members,
The Zambia Union of Financial Institutions and Allied Workers (ZUFIAW) aligns with this statement by the Director General of the International Labour Conference (ILO) and advances that Artificial Intelligence Policies must be developed in an engaging and consultative manner. Unions as key stakeholders must have an input to ensure that the interests and rights of workers are fully protected.
AI must NOT be used by Employers as a tool to disadvantage human labour and maximize profits instead it should be a tool for effective and enhanced of productive.
ZUFIAW, remains ready to dialogue with government and employers to ensure that the interests of our members are prioritized in the formulation of these policies and most importantly ensure that our members are fully supported by the employer for them to upskill and reskill. We will play our part to ensure our members are well aligned with the rapid changes in the world of work and the need for them to remain relevant by embracing AI as a tool for efficiency and effectiveness.
Kasapo Sundrea Kabende (Mr.)
GENERAL SECRETARY and CEO
Zambia Union of Financial Institutions and Allied Workers (ZUFIAW)
