Generative AI is being explored as a tool to improve construction site safety and reduce workplace fatalities. The construction industry faces a significant number of on-the-job deaths annually, exemplified by a recent tragedy on Martha's Vineyard. Researchers and companies are investigating how AI can analyze data from various sources, such as site images and worker activity, to identify potential hazards and proactively prevent accidents. This could involve predicting risks, optimizing safety protocols, and providing real-time alerts to workers, potentially saving lives and improving overall site safety.
