ZeniMax strikes tentative deal with union on AI

  I want to say this is good news but

  The union said that the deal “commits ZeniMax to uses of AI that augment human ingenuity and capacities, to ensure that these tools enhance worker productivity, growth and satisfaction without causing workers harm.”

  Under the terms of the deal, wherever ZeniMax rolls out AI in a way that impacts the work of union members, the company will provide advance notice to the union and negotiate its plans upon request.

  Additionally, it lays out six “guiding principles” for AI’s use in the workplace, insisting the tech must be fair; reliable and safe; private and secure; inclusive; transparent; and accountable.

  This all sounds like the job losses from AI replacing workers will go as planned, just slower.

  Unions, in general, seem to be doing a rather naive job of protecting workers from ai across the board.
