Podcast: How Artificial Intelligence Can Improve Workplace Safety

Our perception is often our reality.

That's why perspective and context is so important, especially when it comes to seeing problems, solutions, aids, tools and threats, among other emotionally driven responses. 

Decades of discussion (and possibly experience) with automation and redundancy, combined with an innate fear of change, have taught workers to be skeptical of technology in the workplace. While certainly understandable, that perception could also be holding us back.

EHS Today Managing Editor Nicole Stempak and Natasha Porter, Chief Customer Officer at Benchmark Gensuite who previously worked as a safety professional for GE, discuss how communication, language and change management are key to rolling out new tools or applications for Aritificial Intelligence. Once you get buy-in, there's virtually no limit to the ways AI can absorb some of the brainstorming, repetitive or data-driven tasks so that safety professionals can spend more of their time developing creative solutions and tackling some of the thorniest issues while making noticable gains in safety metrics.
