Power At Work Blogcast #107: AI Training for Union Teachers (and Others)

In this blogcast, Burnes Center for Social Change Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by Randi Weingarten of the AFT and Roy Bahat of Bloomberg Beta to discuss the effort by the American Federation of Teachers and its local largest affiliate in cooperation with three of the leading American artificial intelligence companies to train elementary and secondary school teachers to use AI in their work.

Watch now to see answered: How and why did the deal come together? Seth, Randi, and Roy will talk about what the union and the companies hope to accomplish by training school teachers in the use of AI. They will discuss how the union might try to address AI through collective bargaining over artificial intelligence. And they will discuss whether this arrangement between a very large teachers’ union and some very large companies is getting any pushback from local leaders, members, other unions, or anyone else.
