1. What are some ways AI can help keep workers safe at work?AI can spot risks before they happen, like predicting when someone might get tired or injured. It can also do dangerous jobs, like working in very hot places or with heavy machines, so people stay out of harm's way.
2. Why can AI sometimes be hard to understand in the workplace?AI can act like a "black box," meaning it makes decisions that people can't easily see or explain. This can make it tricky for workers and managers to know why something happened.
