When AI Gets It Wrong in HSE, Who Answers?

‍

Our experts will explore the opportunities and challenges of AI adoption from an HSE
and compliance perspective, with a particular focus on the MENA business environment.

‍

The discussion will go beyond what AI can do and focus on a question that matters to every organisation adopting it: How can businesses use AI to improve HSE and compliance without losing control of the decisions, data and accountability behind it?

‍

AI and HSE in the MENA region

Where is AI creating opportunities for HSE and compliance teams, and what should businesses consider before introducing it into critical processes?

‍

Human judgement and accountability

AI can support analysis and decision-making, but responsibility cannot simply be delegated to a system. We’ll discuss how organisations can maintain clear human oversight.

‍

Sensitive HSE information

HSE teams often work with sensitive employee, incident, operational and environmental information. What should organisations consider before using this information with AI tools? ű

‍

The risks of over-reliance on AI

AI-generated outputs can be useful, but they still require appropriate review and oversight. We’ll look at practical risks businesses should consider.

‍

AI governance for HSE and compliance

What processes, responsibilities and controls can help organisations adopt AI while keeping decisions transparent and auditable?

‍

‍

Read the series

Ahead of the webinar, Randall Shaw is publishing AI and HSE Management: The Good, the Bad and the Accountable, a blog series on how AI can make HSE professionals markedly better or quietly worse, and who answers either way.  

‍

‍

What you'll take away

This is a practical discussion for leaders who are already using AI, considering its adoption, or trying to establish appropriate governance around its use.

‍

You’ll gain practical insights into:

  • How AI can support HSE and compliance activities
  • Key considerations for sensitive HSE data
  • Risks associated with third-party AI tools
  • How to think about AI governance and accountability
  • Considerations specific to organisations operating in the MENA region
  • How the MENA context compares with the EU approach
  • Questions to ask before introducing AI into HSE processes

‍

‍

What you'll leave with

  1. A clear view of where accountability sits when AI-assisted compliance work goes wrong
  2. The questions to ask before introducing an AI tool, or a consultant who uses one, into HSE processes
  3. How MENA expectations compare with those of the EU, UK, US and China, and what that means for multinational groups
  4. An AI governance checklist for HSE and compliance functions, sent to every registrant

‍

Reserve your place

AI is becoming part of how businesses work. Understanding how to govern its use is becoming part of responsible HSE management.

‍

Join us for a practical discussion on AI, accountability and HSE compliance in the MENA region.

FAQ  

Is there an AI law in the UAE or Saudi Arabia equivalent to the EU AI Act?  

No. Neither country has enacted a horizontal AI statute comparable to the EU AI Act. In the UAE, AI governance currently runs through the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), free-zone rules including the DIFC data protection regime's provisions on autonomous and semi-autonomous systems, sectoral regulators, and non-binding instruments such as the UAE Charter for the Development and Use of AI (2024) and the National Strategy for AI 2031.

‍

‍

Do our home-country AI rules apply to our operations in the region?

It depends where you are headquartered, and the answers differ sharply. The EU AI Act can reach operations outside the EU where AI systems are supplied into the EU or their output is used there; most of its high-risk obligations now apply from December 2027 or August 2028. The UK has no AI-specific statute and regulates through existing regulators and data protection law.

The US has no federal AI law; state laws such as Colorado's apply alongside a federal push to limit them. China regulates through binding measures on generative AI and the labelling of AI-generated content, which extend to services offered to users in China. In practice, the more common route is group policy: many multinationals apply one AI standard across the group, so the home-country benchmark reaches the GCC through the parent company. We'll cover which obligations travel in the session.

‍

Will the session tell us not to use AI?  

No.  The session is about adopting it in a way that holds up under scrutiny, not about avoiding it.

‍

‍

Will the recording be available?  

Yes. All registrants receive the recording and the accompanying materials afterwards, whether or not they attend live.

‍

‍

Will there be a product demonstration?

Yes, showing how denxpert manages obligations, approvals and audit trail. The rest of the session is independent of any product promotion.
