A conference dedicated to the impact of digital technologies on the workplace is taking place in the town of Gniew, in Poland. It will focus on reviewing transformative aspects of (AI) AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals. AI-based systems can be purely software-based, acting in the virtual world (e.g. voice assistants, image analysis software, search engines, speech and face recognition systems) or AI can be embedded in hardware devices (e.g. advanced robots, autonomous cars, drones or Internet of things applications). , universal connectivity, the Internet of Things, Datasets characterised by volume (large size), velocity (constantly growing), and variety (structured and unstructured form such as texts), which are often used by artificial intelligence machines. , wearable and mobile devices and online platforms in the world of work.

Organised by our national focal point Centralny Instytut Ochrony Pracy - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, the event will explore how digital technologies are changing approaches to risk assessment. A highlight of the day will be the discussion of the ‘prevention by design’ ethical principle, which puts humans at the centre of digitalisation and actively involves workers in the design and implementation of strategies for promoting safety and health in the digital age, a key aspect of the new Healthy Workplaces Campaign.

Experts will detail how the human factor and worker-centred design can be integrated into digital processes. They will emphasize the importance of a collaborative approach between academia, industry and social partners in research and innovation related to digital technologies. The adoption of training programs to meet the changing demands of employees in the digital era will also be covered.
