The market for artificial intelligence (AI) projects is growing as larger volumes of proven deployments de-risk projects in the eyes of executives and greater use of cloud infrastructure lowers the barrier to entry. Additionally, the COVID-19 crisis has accelerated firms’ AI adoption plans due to its usefulness in managing shift working arrangements, supply chains and consumer purchasing. With AI filtering through into every facet of organizations, Verdantix sought to offer clarity on the growing applicability of AI to EHS. This report will help EHS directors and executives understand AI’s applicability to EHS and support them in leveraging AI to deliver cost savings, enhanced EHS performance and time savings to focus on value-added tasks. This study spotlights high-value EHS use cases of AI whilst also offering guidance for EHS functions seeking to initiate AI projects.
