Furthermore, we held workshops with civil society and labor
union activists focusing on generative AI. We shared the
survey results and a preliminary policy framework, allowing
participants to exchange their experiences and perspectives.
Through this process, we reconfirmed that the act of honestly
sharing feelings and concerns is crucial, rather than simply
reaching a consensus. The policy framework presented in
this guide is merely a starting point; the process of each
organization creating its own policy that reflects its reality
and the voices of its activists is paramount.
While some activists use generative AI with interest, many
others still feel uncomfortable with generative AI itself. We
clearly state that this guide is not intended to encourage
the use of generative AI. The fact that the development of
major generative AI models and the provision of services
are exclusively controlled by Big Tech companies is also a
concern. Although this guide focuses on the commercial
generative AI services currently in dominant use, we deeply
empathize with the need to overcome these structural
limitations.
Despite various limitations, we hope this guide will be of some
help to organizations and activists currently contemplating
policies related to generative AI.
