Event Overview:
The Australian Institute of Health & Safety invites you to our upcoming webinar, Same Hazards, New Source: What Safety Professionals Need to Know About AI and Psychosocial Risk , presented by Area9 Lyceum on 16th July 2026.
Emerging psychosocial hazards from AI in the workplace go well beyond familiar concerns like job displacement. When AI shapes decisions but humans retain accountability, the resulting gaps in role clarity, perceived control, and trust create real risks for people and organisations. These are not hypothetical future problems. They are showing up now, in the systems organisations are already running, and in the experiences of the people who work within them.
Safety professionals are increasingly being asked to respond to risks they were not trained to see. AI changes how work gets done, how decisions get made, and how responsibility gets allocated, often without any explicit acknowledgment that the psychosocial landscape has shifted. The result is a growing mismatch between where accountability formally sits and where the actual basis for decisions originates.
Drawing on academic research and practical experience across a range of organisations, this session gives safety professionals a concrete lens for identifying AI-related psychosocial hazards in their own settings. The focus is on emerging risks rather than regulatory basics, with practical questions and frameworks you can apply immediately, before these risks become incidents.
Learning Outcomes:
- Recognise the accountability gap: understand how AI-influenced decision-making creates psychosocial risk when responsibility still rests with people but the basis for decisions has shifted.
- Identify emerging hazards in your own setting: apply practical diagnostic questions to spot where AI is introducing workload pressure, monitoring concerns, role ambiguity, or eroded trust in your organisation.
- Move from awareness to action: know what governance and accountability structures need to look like as AI becomes further embedded in workplace processes.
