In New Zealand, there is the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA). The act requires employers to take practical steps to rid their workplace of any risks that could harm an employee or anyone else, such as members of the public or customers.

What separates us from Artificial Intelligence?

Recently, I participated in an IMNZ Future of Work Series that talked about the imminent Artificial Intelligence that is going to become more prevalent in the workforce. I was surprised to hear that they didn’t talk about AI at all, rather the importance of being Human. It was said that our humanity is our point of difference to these systems.
