ai_worker_displacement · AI-governance topic
AI-Driven Worker Displacement is governance of AI as cause of labour displacement, retraining obligations, transition support, and just-transition frames. Distinct from `employment` topic (which is AI-IN-employment-decisions — hiring algorithms, performance management). This topic is AI-AS-cause-of-displacement. Brazil PL 2338 explicit worker-rights provisions; OECD AI Principles 1.1 inclusive growth + AI Recommendation on workforce; US EO 14110 §6 workforce + future-of-work studies; Japan METI Principle 7 fair competition with workforce themes. Across 29 tracked AI-governance instruments, 0 address this topic explicitly, 6 via general principles, and 23 are silent.
