What?
AI has really taken off and is now nearly part of everyday talk and life. If you don’t use it yourself in some way, you have certainly heard about someone else doing so. But what about AI and the connections to health and safety? What are the risks, challenges and also opportunities?
SÄKU was happy to welcome Johan Engman, Head of Innovation at SSG (Standard Solutions Group), for an overview of the matter.
During this webinar, Johan went to talk about:
General information and Developments
Why is it happening now, where is the development going?
Impacts
On jobs, companies, humans
The possibilities of Health & Safety
Examples, applications and the possibilities of reducing risk and increasing safety in the workplace
This was the first webinar in a series arranged by SÄKU covering AI and health & safety from different perspectives and applications.
As always, the audience also got the chance to ask their questions.
The webinar was held in English.
