The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection is banking on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reduce hazards at workplaces that lead to loss of lives and permanent disabilities.
Director of Occupational Safety and Health Services, Dr.
Andrew Muruka, says by harnessing technology, the country is not only going to increase production but also minimize disasters that have been witnessed recently in the mechanized, construction and agricultural sectors. "We have noted that AI and digitalization are critical in the most hazardous sectors of the economy and this includes construction, heavy machinery, manufacturing and agriculture sectors.
These are the areas that require artificial intelligence so that we relieve the human workers' burden associated with hazards in their line of work," said Dr.
