DESCRIPTION
The era of AI and digitalization is transforming safety and health at work for the better. This is according to a new report from the International Labour Organization, released ahead of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, observed each year on April 28.
The report, entitled Revolutionizing Health and Safety: The Role of AI and Digitalization at Work, explores how emerging technologies are reshaping occupational safety and health (OSH) in workplaces and improving worker health and well-being. We discuss these findings with ILO OSH expert Manal Azzi, and explore what policies and actions are necessary to ensure that these technologies serve the greater good, without deepening inequalities or creating new risks.
