Building Worker Voice and Power in AI Decisions: Three Cases in the German ICT Industry
比较德国三家ICT公司工会如何影响AI工具采用，发现工会在监控类AI上成功增强话语权，但在技能发展和就业重组类AI上遇到更多挑战。
This article compares works council initiatives to influence the adoption and deployment of AI-based tools in three German Information and Communications Technology (ICT) companies, with the aim of investigating the conditions for workers to establish collective voice in these decisions. In all three case studies, works councils strengthened worker voice in decisions concerning the use of management-automating AI technologies in areas such as performance monitoring and workforce analytics. However, they faced more challenges in encouraging alternative approaches to skill development and employment restructuring associated with work-automating AI. Institutional and discursive power resources help to explain both their overall success in strengthening voice and different outcomes across AI applications.
