1. AI does not evolve in an isolated environment. It is a multi-purpose technology that intersects with other enabling technologies (Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno), thus creating additional layers of complexity.

2. For that reason, Europe needs an AI legal framework without which private companies will decide and impose their interests onto individuals and workers.

3. Bring workers rights to the next level: Help them ‘AI literate’ and become critically engaged with the technological developments to avoid ‘AI inequalities’.
