BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 16. The application
of artificial intelligence (AI) brings new meaning to the concepts
of labor and workers, First Deputy Speaker of Azerbaijani
Parliament Ali Ahmadov said at the 8th Congress of the Azerbaijan
Trade Union Confederation (ATUC) held in Baku today, Trend reports.
He noted that a legal framework for the protection of labor
rights has been formed in Azerbaijan.
According to him, the protection of human rights, especially
labor rights, and ensuring social welfare are considered indicators
of the development of every society and state.
"In Azerbaijan, along with improving the social welfare of the
population, important tasks have been identified in the field of
protecting the labor rights of employees and effective activities
are being carried out towards their implementation. The protection
of labor rights is one of the areas that not only the state, but
also society is constantly focusing on and showing special
sensitivity to. The adoption of a number of laws aimed at
protecting labor rights by the Azerbaijani Parliament has created a
reliable legal basis for the protection of human and labor rights
in the country.
It's on the basis of this legal framework that the Azerbaijani
government successfully carries out its responsible task of
protecting the labor rights of citizens.
New challenges will seriously require the renewal of the
activities of trade unions in the future. Mass robotization and the
application of artificial intelligence bring new content to the
concepts of labor and workers. I believe that we are already
witnessing radical changes in the field of labor, and this will
manifest itself more clearly in the future," the official
added.
