In this episode of Rank & File Radio, Bruno Dobrusin, a researcher and Just Transition Coordinator with the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) discusses how the scale and speed of AI deployment is unprecedented and how it is reshaping transport work. Everything from AI-driven scheduling and predictive maintenance drones in rail systems, to surveillance of bus drivers and the rise of "ghost stations" with no human staff at all. How is it that workers are generating the data that trains AI systems, often without compensation or consent? Can workers use AI productivity gains to win higher wages and reduce their work weeks? What is a worker-centered standard when it comes to introducing new technology?
