We just launched a new <b>tracker </b>on <b>workers' mobilization around AI in arts, culture and media</b>. Around the world, cultural workers are striking, protesting, running campaigns, and organizing in response to the use of AI in the workplace.  The tracker
 aims to document strikes, protests, campaigns, and other mobilizations by cultural workers, broadly understood across the arts, culture, and media sectors, in relation to AI around the world.</div>

The tracker currently maps <b>107 unions, associations, collectives, and coalitions across +25 countries.
