Greg Baker's Fair Work Commission victory marks the first documented instance of an individual using AI agents in self-representation against a major institution, breaking the information asymmetry that favors well-resourced employers with legal teams. If casual and contract workers routinely deploy AI to mount credible legal challenges, institutional HR practices and dispute resolution timelines will face pressure to adapt. Employers and arbitration bodies will need to develop new protocols for AI-assisted arguments. The case functions as a stress test for how institutions manage this shift.
