Microsoft and ACTU Unveil AI Framework Agreement for Australian Workers

This morning, Microsoft Australia and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) announced a landmark Framework Agreement that puts workers’ voices and skilling at the centre of Australia’s AI transformation.    AI is reshaping our economy at extraordinary pace. Done right, it can unlock new productivity, strengthen industries and create better jobs – representing a $115 billion opportunity for Australia by 2030. But that only happens when workers have the skills, confidence and voice to help shape how AI is used.    Together with the ACTU, we’re committing to:    🔹 Share practical AI learning with union leaders and workers through formal training and resources  🔹 Create new channels for worker input into how AI tools are designed and deployed  🔹 Collaborate on responsible AI policy and skills, ensuring workers are ready for the jobs of the future    This is the first agreement of its kind in Australia and builds on the Government’s new National AI Plan. It also aligns with our ongoing work to ensure AI adoption is responsible, inclusive and grounded in real workplace experience.    We’re proud to take this step with the ACTU. This is about making sure every worker has a place in Australia’s AI‑powered future – and ensuring the benefits of this technology are shared widely and fairly.    Read more about the Framework Agreement here: https://lnkd.in/dF7sNJxX     #digitaltransformation #AI #workers #NationalAIPlan
