Description

OSH in the Age of Artificial Intelligence  

The ETUI Annual Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Conference returns with a timely and critical focus: OSH in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI, digitalisation, big data, robotics, machine learning, algorithmic management, augmented reality, the internet of things and other related developments become increasingly embedded in the workplace with AI as the most disruptive and fastest evolving among the technologies involved. AI is not only transforming how work is organised and performed but it also raises critical questions for workers’ safety and health.  

AI goes beyond simple automation or digitisation. It enables systems that learn, predict, and make decisions – often in opaque and unpredictable ways – that can deeply affect health and safety at work. And while such technologies promise efficiency and innovation, they also introduce uncertainty, the risk of unsafe conditions, psychosocial risks, and shifts in control over the wok environment away from workers. These developments demand urgent attention to make sure that the future is both smart and safe. AI manifests in in the workplace in many forms, like  

• Machinery which automates physical work and reshapes the material conditions of the workplace;  
• AI tools such as generative or predictive systems that may alter how cognitive tasks are performed; and
• Systems for algorithmic management which uses data-driven decision-making to govern work organisation, time, and performance—often with limited transparency. 

The conference will examine how AI is reshaping safety and health at work across different industries with a special focus on AI. It will examine what a truly safe and healthy digital transition might look like.  It will also offer a space for critical discussion on how European policies and regulation, including the AI Act and the Platform Work Directive, can contribute to a preventive and worker-centred governance of AI. 

Gathering trade unionists, researchers, policymakers and social partners, this conference, open to the public, aims to foster a deeper understanding of how AI affects OSH across sectors, and to identify concrete ways forward to ensure the digital transition is not only efficient but also safe, inclusive and fair. 

Interpretation will be provided in: English, French, Italian, and Spanish. 

Please note that the event will take place in person.
