The OECD found that AI-at-work policy is still mostly old law doing new work.
A July 24 OECD paper reviewed AI labor-market policy across G7 countries, the European Union, and selected Latin American economies. It found that most issues are handled through existing labor frameworks; AI-specific measures are most developed for skills and adoption, while privacy, transparency, explainability, accountability, safety, and social dialogue remain uneven or emerging.

Pressure point
This is a policy inventory, not evidence that the listed rules are enforced or that they improve worker outcomes. Cross-country categories can also conceal differences in legal authority, collective bargaining, inspection capacity, remedies, and coverage of contractors.
What to watch
Binding workplace-AI disclosure duties, rights to contest automated decisions, audit access for worker representatives, enforcement cases involving algorithmic management, and comparative evidence on whether skills programs raise wages or mainly subsidize adoption.
