HAZOPs, PHAs, incident records and investigations provide expert analysis of hazards and mitigating strategies. Add observations and near-miss reports and we’re faced with a huge amount of data that can be difficult to assess. Enter artificial intelligence (AI) as a means to quickly analyze large amounts of information and extract insights on hazard conditions, activities, incident causes and risk controls. In this session, we’ll discuss how – trained to understand concepts and contexts in both process and personal safety – AI can provide a unique data exploration environment for discovering common themes and related records. Not unlike humans, AI learns from the past, informs the present and can help reduce risks in the future.
