Workers, Unions & the Algorithmic Shift

WHAI? 2025
Artificial Intelligence isn’t coming. It’s already here. It’s changing the way we work, live, and interact with the world around us. But while AI is celebrated for its innovation, it also raises critical questions that workers, unions, and society can’t afford to ignore.
Welcome to WHAI? 2025, the international conference where we challenge the future of AI instead of just accepting it. Bringing together trade unionists, experts, policymakers, and activists, this event is about more than technology—it’s about power, fairness, and the future of work.
Join us as we explore the impact of AI on jobs, wages, workers’ rights, and democracy. We will debate, strategize, and fight for an AI-driven future that serves everyone—not just the powerful few.

Featured Talks & Speakers
At WHAI? 2025, we’re bringing together leading experts, trade unionists, policymakers, and innovators to tackle the big questions surrounding AI and the future of work.
From groundbreaking keynotes to thought-provoking panel discussions, our speakers will challenge assumptions, expose risks, and explore opportunities to ensure AI works for people—not against them.
Get ready for bold ideas, critical debates, and fresh insights from voices shaping the future.
