The EU AI Act: What EHS+ Professionals Need to Know

What the world's first comprehensive AI law means for how EHS+ teams adopt AI.

AI is fast becoming part of everyday EHS+ work, from incident classification and CAPA recommendations to predictive risk analytics.

OVERVIEW

The EU AI Act, the world's first comprehensive AI law, sets clear expectations for how that AI should behave. Those obligations apply to organizations that use AI, not just those that build it.

For EHS+ professionals, the message is a welcome one. The EU AIA asks organizations to keep humans meaningfully in control of AI, to base AI decisions on reliable, well-structured data, and to keep a transparent, auditable record of how decisions were reached. These are the same principles responsible safety programs already depend on.

In this webinar, Cority's Stu Cook and Bill Palmer explain what the EU AIA means in practice for EHS+ teams. They will show how a human-in-control approach to AI, where the system recommends and people decide, aligns with both the letter and the spirit of the regulation. What you'll leave with following this webinar:

• A clear view of what the EU AI Act expects of EHS+ professionals 

• The questions to ask technology partners that provide AI-enabled workflows 

• A practical approach to adopting AI that is compliant, defensible and genuinely useful
