In this episode of IOSH Magazine's new Cam & Cory series, PKG Safety Innovation™ Managing Director Cam Stevens joins IOSH President Richard Bate and technology critic Cory Doctorow to debate whether AI can make work safer.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from science fiction to the workplace, promising to predict risks, prevent accidents and transform how organisations manage safety. But can technology really make work safer, or are we creating new risks that we don't yet understand?
In the first episode of this new series, sponsored by safety and sustainability software provider EcoOnline, IOSH president Richard Bate is joined by AI advocate Cam Stevens and technology critic Cory Doctorow for a thought-provoking debate on the future of AI in occupational safety and health. Together, they explore whether AI can genuinely improve safety outcomes, the dangers of over-reliance on technology, the growing tension between protection and surveillance, and who we should trust when human judgement and machine intelligence disagree.
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in the world of work, this episode asks a simple but important question: will AI make work safer, or simply change the nature of the risks we face?
