What about the safety of AI itself?  

AI is a tool that's as safe as how it's adopted and used. Many AI solutions and applications are guided by human input, feedback and verification. Human oversight isn’t just a formality, it's a crucial aspect of AI's operation, especially within industries where a wrong move can have big financial repercussions. 

AI can also assist with safety and security outside of a data context. Take for example the case of AI reshaping operations for large industrial facilities. With continuous monitoring, AI can offer real-time insights into equipment conditions and help predict when maintenance is needed. AI can also enhance on-site security by assisting with detecting and addressing issues. Working in conjunction with human oversight and verification AI can help make these sites more efficient and safer for all workers.
