This is how AI is preventing accidents at workplaces - ET CIO

Autodesk's latest addition to its BIM 360 AI suite enables industry tools such as Construction IQ to predict and play a role in the reduction of tragic occurrences at the workplace. By predicting when falls are likely to happen, along with other dangers to life, limb or work; it is already proving dramatically useful in reducing risk dividends for businesses. Construction IQ uses NLP algorithms – parsing human language – in order to assess risk and warn of hazards that might go unnoticed by human safety managers. By adding to this suite through the use of tools such as 360-degree cameras etc, this technology is well on its way to saving lives. Other research suggests that soon automatic detectors could even assess the toxicity of air in relation to life expectancy and other predictive capabilities.
