HSE to canvas artificial intelligence impact
Regulator aims to enhance AI knowledge with release of survey.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a survey on the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
It asks for responses from professionals trailing or using AI in the industry verticals HSE regulates.
It is hoped feedback will guide on potential risks and develop further its regulatory approach.
HSE’s current role in regulating AI includes:
- regulating the use of AI where it impacts on health and safety in workplaces;
- regulating the use of AI in design, manufacture and supply of workplace machinery; equipment and products for use in the workplace as a Market Surveillance Authority under the Product Safety regulatory framework;
- where AI impacts on HSE’s role to protect people and places, including building safety, chemicals and pesticides regulation.
The deadline for responses is 4 October, with HSE adding that answers will remain anonymous.
