Artificial Intelligence, AI, is now being used to predict risks, monitor in real time, and accelerate hazard detection, from smart devices, drones to automation systems. Innovations like these are making the workplace not only safer, but smarter and more responsive. However, we must be realistic and vigilant. If AI is not properly controlled, it can bring new risks, both physical and psychological.
