Rapid advancements in Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. driven by (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).

However, these innovations come with a complex set of challenges, offering both risks and benefits for workers' safety and wellbeing.

As part of the European Week for Safety and Health at Work, our Finnish focal point, Työterveyslaitos, will host an event looking at the potential of Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. to support wellbeing in the workplace.

The session will analyse these risks and opportunities, providing insights into how organisations can incorporate safety and health considerations when designing and implementing 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). -driven systems. These sessions will be accompanied by practical examples, allowing attendees to explore real-world applications where Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. has successfully enhanced worker wellbeing.

Participants will learn how robotics and Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. can be applied to new types of tasks, such as collaborative robots (cobots) that work alongside humans in manufacturing or logistics. These innovations highlight the future of human-automation collaboration, where the goal is not only to boost efficiency but also to reduce stress and foster healthier work conditions.

Another key topic of discussion at the event will be Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. -related legislation, covering the latest developments in European legislation regarding AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals.
