Smarter Workplaces: The Role of AI in Promoting Occupational Safety and Health

These are the proceedings of the AI4POSH session - Smarter Workplaces: The Role of AI in Promoting Occupational Safety and Health, held as part of the 48th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Potsdam, Germany, 16-19 September 2025. The session was organized by PD Dr. Thea Radüntz, head of the unit "Artificial Intelligence in Work Systems" of the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

The AI4POSH session highlights the diverse and growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping healthier, safer, and more human-centered workplaces. The presented papers span applications in workplace health promotion, occupational medicine, mental health, algorithmic management, risk assessment, and AI-assisted operations. Contributions explore both the potential and challenges of AI from technical innovations like sensor networks and image analysis to human-centered concerns such as digital sovereignty, engagement, and workload management. Together, these works reflect an interdisciplinary effort to harness AI for promoting occupational safety and health while critically examining its impact on workers and organizations. By addressing how intelligent systems reshape the modern workplace, the AI4POSH session contributes to the development of safer, more responsive, and ethically sound working environments in the age of AI.
