The research highlights the collaborative efforts of European social partners — Ceemet and IndustriAll Europe — to develop conclusions addressing AI’s impact on occupational health and safety (OHS), human resources management (HRM), data protection, and skills development. Key findings reveal that while AI offers benefits such as increased efficiency and automation of repetitive tasks, it also poses risks like job displacement, privacy concerns, and algorithmic bias. The study underscores the necessity of involving workers and trade unions in AI implementation to safeguard rights, autonomy, and well-being. Social partners from non EU countries advocate for a comparable regulatory frameworks as EU members, such as the EU AI Act, to balance productivity gains with fundamental labor rights. The research identifies the need for practices in collective agreements which address digital rights, the right to disconnect, and transparency in AI-based decision-making. Recommendations include establishing a European database on AI applications in the MET sector, conducting critical case studies, and fostering further social dialogue to ensure AI contributes positively to both workers and industry competitiveness. The study concludes that proactive collaboration among social partners is essential for harnessing AI’s potential while mitigating its risks.&lt;/p&gt;
