悉尼大学员工就人工智能教学政策与工作安全问题爆发劳资冲突。12高等教育工会（NTEU）组织的24小时罢工于周三进行，参与人数存在差异报道——一方记录约600名员工建立纠察线1，另一方统计约2000名工作人员参与2，每个校园入口约有500人参加罢工活动2。罢工强制大多数课程转为在线进行1。
工会的核心诉求围绕工作保障和薪酬待遇展开。12NTEU要求大学提高员工薪资20%1、为临时职员增加17%养老金1，并寻求法律保护确保人工智能不被用于裁员或替代教学中的人际互动1。新南威尔士州NTEU部门秘书文斯·考利指出校方绿皮书称AI是教育"最根本的变革"2。NTEU分支主席彼得·陈警告大学可能成为更广泛劳动力市场中AI冲击的"警示"1，并表示校方在AI保护问题上"在每个机会都拒绝了"工会的要求2。
员工和学生对AI教学实施提出具体顾虑。1计算机科学讲师Alan Fekete表示员工工作量已在增加，人员却在减少1。学生Dana Kafina指出部分课程材料完全由AI生成，质量下降且显得不够个人化1。文艺与社会科学系0%的员工同意校方能够维护员工、学生和社区利益2。教授劳拉·谢泼德提到学生在学位上花费5万美元2。
悉尼大学方面回应称罢工行动"过早"，承诺继续谈判1，强调人类判断和关系"永远无法被技术取代"1。校方表示已进行第五个月的谈判2。
Thousands of employees at the University of Sydney staged a 24-hour strike on Wednesday to protest the institution's deployment of artificial intelligence and inadequate protections for workers' job security.12 The walkout, organized by the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU), saw staff members establish picket lines at campus entrances, forcing most courses to move online.12
The union is demanding a 20 percent salary increase, a 17 percent superannuation rise for casual staff, and legal protections guaranteeing that AI will not be used to eliminate positions or replace human interaction in teaching.1 Union leaders have also called for formal consultation rights on AI deployment decisions and the establishment of best practice guidelines.2 Peter Chen, chair of the university's NTEU branch, stated that management had rejected the union's concerns "at every opportunity," warning that Sydney University could become a cautionary tale for AI's impact across the broader labor market.12
Staff members have raised specific concerns about rising workloads amid workforce reductions.1 Computer science lecturer Alan Fekete noted that employee workload has increased while staff numbers have declined.1 Additionally, some students have reported that course materials are being generated entirely by AI, resulting in diminished quality and a less personalized learning experience.1 In a statement, the university acknowledged the strike as "premature" but committed to continued negotiations, emphasizing that "human judgment and relationships can never be replaced by technology."1
The dispute emerges against the backdrop of significant financial pressures on the institution.1 International student revenue reached AUD 1.7 billion last year, though the university's surplus fell from AUD 545 million to AUD 194 million.1 Negotiations have been ongoing for five months.2
