Global: Nouveau rapport de l’OIT –  L’IA et la numérisation transforment la sécurité et la santé au travail

À l’approche de la Journée mondiale de la sécurité et de la santé au travail, le 28 avril, un nouveau rapport de l’Organisation internationale du Travail (OIT) montre comment l’intelligence artificielle (IA), la numérisation, la robotique et l’automatisation transforment la sécurité et la santé au travail (SST).

En prenant en charge des tâches dangereuses, en assistant lors d’interventions chirurgicales et en optimisant la logistique, les robots contribuent à réduire les risques et à améliorer l’efficacité. Ces technologies favorisent la santé et le bien-être des travailleurs. Il reste toutefois nécessaire d’intensifier les efforts pour atténuer les risques potentiels qu’elles pourraient engendrer.

Global: New ILO report – AI and digitalisation are transforming safety and health at work

alt

Ahead of World Day for Safety and Health at Work on 28 April, a new report from the International Labour Organization (ILO) shows how artificial intelligence (AI), digitalization, robotics and automation are reshaping occupational safety and health (OSH) at work.

By taking on hazardous tasks, assisting in surgeries, and optimizing logistics, robots help reduce risks and improve efficiency, these technologies are improving worker health, and well-being. More, however, needs to be done in order to mitigate against any risks that could arise from such technologies.
