Shownotes

In this episode of The Safety Meeting from Novara, we talk with Dr. Christopher Warren, a certified safety professional and founder of Artificionomics, about treating AI as a workplace exposure that can create cognitive, behavioral, and decision-environment hazards. He explains how industrial hygiene principles can be applied to AI by anticipating where it’s introduced, recognizing and evaluating exposures, implementing human override controls, and confirming outcomes. Dr. Warren outlines the psychological risks of algorithmic monitoring, and argues that safety leaders must act ahead of regulation.
