A seminar taking place during European Week for Safety and Health at Work explores how digitalisation, (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). ( AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals.

In particular, it sheds light on the potential of VR to improve training in the construction sector by creating realistic and controlled learning environments, allowing workers to develop their skills without being exposed to real risks.

It also examines how digital technologies and AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals.

In this context, the Healthy Workplaces Campaign and its action for safe work in the digital age is presented.

The event, organised by our Czech focal point Ministerstvo práce a sociálních věcí combines theoretical insights with practical experience, offering the opportunity for participants to test virtual tools used for safety training and risk prevention.
