Revolutionizing health and safety: the role of AI and digitalization at work
The campaign will shed light on how new technologies are transforming OSH, including through the automation of tasks, use of smart OSH tools and monitoring systems, extended reality and virtual reality and algorithmic management of work.
The digital transformation of work has led to evolving work arrangements, such as telework and digital labour platforms, which will be further examined.
The event is free to attend and will be available in English, French, and Spanish.
