Artificial intelligence cannot remain in the hands of a few. It cannot be monopolized by Silicon Valley multinationals or turned into an academic or business elite tool. AI is a general purpose technology, as was electricity or internet at the timeand its transformative potential for the world of work cannot be restricted to a handful of corporations or regulated with a safe logic.
The work world is in full transition. Each trade, each task, each sector, is being impacted by algorithms that optimize, predict, automate or directly replace human processes. But We are not facing an inevitable threat. We are facing an opportunity to redesign work with justice, equity and efficiency. For that, AI has to be available to everyone: small businesses, cooperatives, unions, self -employed workers and entrepreneurs.
Regulation yes, but with a vocation of access
From some sectors a restrictive “law of AI” is requested, with a controlling vision of development. That is not the exit. Regular is not prohibiting. Regular is to guarantee democratic access, avoid abuse, and promote digital inclusion with focus on the most vulnerable.
A the AI software capable of generating labor liquidation or writing a demand in seconds It cannot be privilege of a legal study of Puerto Madero. It must also be available for a union delegate, for a worker who fights for his rights, for a labor judge in the interior of the country.
The democratization of knowledge is not done with barriers, it is done with bridges.
AI for the working people
The world of employment needs not to replace people, but to enhance them.
- A delivery man who can use an app with AI to know if your contract is fraudulent;
- A union that uses predictive models to anticipate dismissals or outsourcing;
- A state that automates labor inspections with trained algorithms to detect evasion;
- An informal worker who can consult his rights with a free legal chatbot.
All that already exists. But it is not available to the people. And if we do not democratize the AI, we will reproduce the same logic of exclusion with a new power tool.
The danger is not AI. The danger is that AI is not for everyone
The story already taught us that when a technology is in concentrated hands, becomes an inequality tool. We do not repeat the error. Let’s make a public good, a basic digital right, an accessible tool for any worker, regardless of their place, their trade or their educational level.
The AI cannot be a black box with key guarded by CEOS. It has to be a window open to collective knowledge, at the service of labor justice, transparency, inclusion and decent work.
Argentina has a historical opportunity. We can make the digital revolution leave anyone outside. But for that, the key is clear: artificial intelligence yes, but with popular access, democratic control and human purpose.
