From Hype to Impact: Making AI a Trusted Tool in EHS 

11 Feb 2026
Theatre 1
AI Data and Adoption

AI is increasingly emerging across the EHS landscape, yet many organisations struggle to distinguish meaningful capability from marketing hype. 

This session explores practical, proven uses of AI that are already supporting EHS teams today, including incident triage, early trend detection, improved risk visibility, and the reduction of administrative load. The focus is not on future concepts, but on where AI is delivering measurable value now. 

Attendees will gain a clear, balanced view of where AI adds added benefits and where its limits remain within existing EHS frameworks. The session will also examine how AI can help support EHS teams shift from reactive activity to proactive risk anticipation, enabling leaders to redeploy time and capability toward culture, wellbeing and organisational resilience.
