Dr. Michelle O'Sullivan:

It is not specific to employment. It is AI in general. They have a draft AI regulation or so-called "AI Act".

On the weakness, law technology experts internationally would say that it is very much about getting developers of technology to assess the extent to which they are transparent in the way in which they work but that it is not specific to employment. Even though it mentions that its use in employment is high risk, it places very little emphasis on what employers should be doing and very little mention, if anything at all, on workers or workers' rights. There are a lot of gaps with that. The strongly held view internationally is that will not be strong enough in its present form to be able to protect workers in the workplace or even give guidance to employers in the workplace in terms of artificial intelligence.
