WGGB at TUC Women’s Conference 2025

WGGB members Katharine Way and Aisha Josiah (pictured left and right) were representing the union at the TUC Women’s Conference 2025, on 5-7 March, at Congress House in London.

Speaking in support of the motion on Women creative workers and generative AI, Josiah highlighted some of WGGB’s more specific recommendations, including:

• implementing a licensing model
• increasing transparency in AI use
• labelling AI-generated content and
• strengthening penalties for copyright infringement.

“Women in the creative industries face unequal pay, fewer opportunities and precarity,” Josiah said. “And AI, if left unchecked, will only widen those inequalities… This is not about resisting technology, it’s about resisting exploitation.”
