Executive Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) is continuing to make resounding developmental strides, particularly in the field of generative AI, where its use has widely infiltrated organizations’ workflows. Verdantix research finds that AI has major implications for EHS functions, affecting EHS professionals, software users and the wider workforce. AI EHS use cases align with market demand for simplified, automated and intelligent tools that can help ease the workload for often over-burdened EHS professionals. This report clarifies what constitutes an AI solution and offers advice for corporates on how to discerningly assess vendors’ AI capabilities. VPs and Directors of EHS will find a comprehensive overview of existing EHS AI use cases, as well as guidance on the data architecture required to successfully apply machine learning (ML) models for EHS.While AI offers a realm of EHS benefits, buyers cannot take vendors’ claims at face value
