Home > The news of EUROGIP and occupational risks in Europe > OSH, future of work and artificial intelligence

On the theme of occupational safety and health (OSH) and the future of work, a new “discussion paper” published by EU-OSHA addresses the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) at work.
