Yesterday I watched someone use ChatGPT for the first time.

We took a photo of a speaker system and asked it how to set it up in a noisy conference hall.

His reaction? "Wait, it's that easy?"

That moment captured what our whole panel was about, AI in safety isn't some distant future. It's happening now in Manitoba workplaces.
- Computer vision catching ergonomic risks before injuries happen.
- Early hazard detection that leads to actual coaching conversations.
- Custom GPTs turning investigation reports around in minutes instead of days.

The best part? The audience questions. Most people weren't asking "if" anymore, they were asking "how."

Huge thanks to Amelia O’Donnell for moderating and to my fellow panelists Dana Johnson CRSP CHSC CSO LIAT and Sean Brown for sharing what's already working in their operations.
