The assumption that frontline employees resist new technology has become conventional wisdom in manufacturing, but recent data tells a different story.
Across safety, distribution, and manufacturing, the pressure feels familiar. Systems are moving faster. Information is coming from everywhere. And now, layered on top of all of that, comes Artificial Intelligence — or what many of us are starting to call Digital Intelligence (DI). For many professionals, the reaction is mixed.
The appetite for AI is evident: 45% see clear potential for AI applications and 20% are open-minded about AI deployment. Here's what safety professionals need to know about AI adoption, safe implementation and what questions to ask.
