SAFETY 2: AI in Safety: Replacing Humans or Enabling Better Performance

Tuesday, 8 September
Al Ghaf 1 (First Level)
Special Sessions

Using emerging Vision AI and video analytics applications, this session will examine how rapidly expanding capabilities, from automated hazard detection and compliance monitoring to predictive insights and integrated risk modelling, can transform safety culture. Discussion will focus on where AI should enhance safety performance by augmenting human judgment, and where human presence and intervention remain non-negotiable. At the same time, critical questions will be addressed: What companies should focus on, using AI to replace the frontline workers or to help them improve operational integrity? How can organisations ensure that technology strengthens safety performance without undermining frontline ownership?
