Course Description:
AI is increasingly becoming part of many operations in the workplace. AI technology can make processes more efficient, organize work patterns more effectively, and identify hazards. AI can even identify patterns that enable OHS professionals to focus on specific worker practices that may be more likely to result in injury or illness. However, since AI systems will impact workers and work processes either directly or indirectly, it is important to acknowledge that there is always risk that any system may not operate as intended and may impact physical, chemical, biological, or even psychological exposures. Although not all AI-related systems are able to cause these types of exposures or harm, all systems will impact workers in some form or fashion.

This webinar will provide the IH community key concepts regarding the development and use of artificial intelligence in the workplace. The session will provide recommendations on how best to take advantage of the opportunities to improve worker health and safety while minimizing potential risks.

Learning Objectives:
After this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe the features of artificial intelligent systems in current practice, including familiarization with terminology.
• Identify common uses of artificial intelligent systems in the workplace.
• List opportunities and challenges associated with use of these systems.
• Discuss risk management practices which can be used by OSH professionals.
