Continuing the schedule of the 25th Cobrasemt (Brazilian Congress of Safety and Occupational Medicine), Eduardo Ferro, director of ABERGO (Brazilian Ergonomics Association), gave a lecture on “The AI Revolution in OHS – A Positive Reality,” in which he avoided alarmism and outlined an optimistic overview of the use of AI in occupational safety.
The speaker opened by commenting on how Artificial Intelligence is portrayed in Hollywood cinema, citing science fiction films whose premise is that the tool would end the world, whereas, in his view, reality is much more consistent with the cartoon The Jetsons, “where AI was used so that the characters could enjoy more family moments,” he commented. Instead of machines that will take over the world, the panelist explained how Artificial Intelligence can not only replace human labor in functions considered risky, but also perform calculations that prevent accidents. “We have super complex systems, but we need tools that help us map, to transform this data into information,” the speaker added.
Illustrating how resistance to new technologies has always accompanied humanity's major innovations, a newspaper headline was projected on the screen featuring news of a protest in the US that gathered 6,000 teachers against the use of the calculator in 1986. To close, the following quote by the North American biologist Edward Osborne Wilson was cited: “The real problem of humanity is the following: we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.".
