Overview

Article proposes a rights-based governance model for AI's impact on worker rights, highlighting urgent challenges and solutions.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how AI-driven automation challenges worker rights and propose a governance model to ensure protections.
  • Analyzed AI's impact on nonroutine, mid-skill occupations and worker rights.
  • Proposed a governance architecture connecting UN human rights with national and multilateral frameworks.
  • Examined case studies from the EU, US, China, and the Global South on implementing human rights protections.
  • Identified structural threats from AI displacement of mid-skill jobs, emphasizing concentration of gains in high-skill labor.
  • Outlined second-order harms including algorithmic discrimination and invasive monitoring affecting job quality.
  • Proposed a layered framework that translates human rights into enforceable protections for workers.
