With the continuous advances in robotics and AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals. AI-based systems can be purely software-based, acting in the virtual world (e.g. voice assistants, image analysis software, search engines, speech and face recognition systems) or AI can be embedded in hardware devices (e.g. advanced robots, autonomous cars, drones or Internet of things applications). , Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. at work has incorporated more tasks, both physical and cognitive. As new automations are incorporated by organisations in Europe, it is essential to understand the opportunities, but also the risks and challenges of these technologies related to occupational safety and health. A human-centred design and clear communication are key to ensure and promote the wellbeing of workers while making the most of the digital transformation.
