The use 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). and robotics for the 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 physical and cognitive tasks in the health and social care sector presents several opportunities for the reduction of occupational safety and health risks (OSH). However, it may also raise other potential negative OSH implications such as fear of job loss or an increased exposure to safety risks due to an overreliance on technology.

Based on a literature review and selected good practice examples, this study highlights important aspects of the use 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.
