Over the past decade, Human and Organizational Performance has helped safety leaders focus on people, relationships and how work is actually performed. At the same time, artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the safety function, bringing new capabilities around prediction, consistency and automation.
Both have value. The challenge is finding the right balance.
AI can identify trends, detect patterns and uncover areas of risk. What it cannot do is understand context, human pressure or the realities workers face in the moment. AI may improve efficiency, but it cannot replace meaningful engagement with the people doing the work.
During this session, Scott Gaddis, vice president and global practice leader for safety and health at Intelex, will explore how safety leaders can use AI without losing connection to the workforce. You’ll learn where AI is delivering value in safety today, the leadership tensions that come with adoption and a practical framework for evaluating AI tools before implementation.
Key takeaways:
- Understand what AI can and cannot do in safety
- Learn the leadership tensions created by AI adoption
- Apply a practical framework for evaluating AI tools
- Leave with one action you can implement immediately
