In this episode, due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis discuss controls and liability when it comes to AI and robots.
OHS/WHS legislation require achieving the highest level of hazard control that is reasonably practicable. AI/Robots present potential controls to address many safety issues and can be implemented to improve safety.
They discuss a number of examples where AI and robots are already enhancing safety and removing people from dangerous tasks, and when it comes to due diligence, organisations would need to demonstrate why it is not reasonably practicable to use them.
The chat also covers how AI provides situational awareness and information to support human decision-making. Quality assurance processes are still necessary to ensure the robustness of AI-generated information.
And that the use of AI technology also raises questions about liability, ethics, and morals.
