EU-OSHA has just released eight case studies to understand how 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. of tasks via (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.

The publications examine the impact of these systems on safety and health at work and identify drivers, barriers and success factors to make the most out of this technology while protecting workers.

The cases cover different contexts, including lifting, product inspection, trenching, visual recognition, inspection of gas and oil infrastructure, fact checking, AI-material quality control measures, and inspection of worksites of gas infrastructure operator.

We will soon be releasing a comparative report of case studies on AI-based systems and The term advanced robotics refers to the design, production and use of machines able to carry out difficult and complex tasks using AI to interact with the real world around them. for task automation.
