Artificial intelligence in the service of health and safety at work: Perspectives and challenges from now to 2035 - A prospective study

Artificial intelligence systems are developing very rapidly in all areas. This is particularly true in the case of work, where we are seeing their use in the robotisation of industrial production or the automation of certain functions in services (from chatbots to robotic process automation). In the context of a prospective study devoted to the use of artificial intelligence for occupational risk prevention, a very diverse project group was set up: occupational health practitioners, artificial intelligence specialists, lawyers, futurists, sociologists, and everyday users of artificial intelligence techniques. Using the method of contrasting scenarios, this project group successively documented variables likely to influence the use of artificial intelligence in the service of occupational health and safety, put forward hypotheses on their possible development over the next ten to fifteen years, and constructed scenarios. These relatively general scenarios were then adapted specifically to the subject studied, in particular during seminars devoted to specific uses (possible uses of artificial intelligence tools in epidemiology and accidentology, technologies for securing working environments using artificial intelligence, advanced robotics using artificial intelligence). Based on all the material produced during the study, the study finally resulted in recommendations of the project group on the use of AI in occupational risk prevention proposed for discussion. The subject is indeed of interest to the whole community of practitioners involved in occupational risk prevention whose practices will certainly be affected by these new technological developments

The Knowledge Economy in Development: Perspectives for Effective Partnerships

The partnership between the Inter-American Development Bank and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean to integrate the requirements of an emerging knowledge-based global economy into development planning is a work in progress. It is a multidimensional and multilevel effort involving public, private, and civil society organizations to spur sustainable economic growth and reduce poverty while promoting equity. This publication is part of an ongoing commitment to improve the effectiveness of that partnership. It is designed to stimulate further discussion and promote consensus in the formulation of outcomes, outputs, and indicators to measure, monitor, and evaluate the contribution of Knowledge Economy expansion to increasing the rate of sustainable economic growth and reduce poverty while promoting equity. The authors whose chapters are published herein, spoke during individual sessions of the IDB Discussion Series on "The Knowledge Economy in Development: Towards Definition of Outcomes, Outputs and Indicators in Bank-funded Projects", and each contributed a chapter for this publication
