• Description:
  Technological advancement has led to the rise of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life. Particularly in the workplace, AI is increasingly utilized to improve the streamlining and effectiveness of a variety of tasks and maximize decision-making processes. Employers can implement AI technology for human resources-related tasks (e.g., recruiting and hiring processes, onboarding, and responding to queries). Artificial intelligence's real-time data collection ability can be used to identify exposure risks and monitor workers as well as identify and flag potential occupational disease or distress early. The technology can also replace workers' physical presence in dangerous or risky work environments as well as monitor productivity. ... As workplaces continue to adapt and make room for AI and other new technologies, it is important to be aware of and account for their impact (positive and negative) on the workforce. Occupational Safety and Health professionals should focus on identifying the current disparities that exist and taking steps to ensure that the introduction of AI helps to mitigate those disparities rather than aggravate them. By supporting workers while integrating AI into the workforce, OSH professionals can help create a synergistic work environment. [Description provided by NIOSH]
