Hi folks, another #introduction now that there are LOADs more people here (& I understand things a bit more!). Im a professor of #neuroscience and #mentalhealth at #UCL. Interested in how and why people feel #anxiety from both and adaptive and #psychiatry perspective. Also how different treatments (both #psychology and #pharmacology) work, and if we can target them better. We use #ComputationalPsychiatry, #translational #CognitiveTasks and #neuroimaging in humans.

The automation of #CognitiveTasks through #ArtificialIntelligence brings new opportunities but has an impact on workers’ safety & health. What are risks and how to protect workers? @EU_OSHA offers publications assessing the latest research on the topic: https://osha.europa.eu/en/highlights/advanced-robotics-and-ai-automation-cognitive-tasks#pk_campaign=sm_

The automation of cognitive tasks: what latest research tells us about the OSH implications | Safety and health at work EU-OSHA

A new report presents the occupational safety and health (OSH) challenges and opportunities related to the automation of cognitive tasks, such as decision support, data processing, learning and teaching support or language and text processing, through Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems. How can AI-based systems make work more efficient and reduce cognitive workload? And how do changes and interaction with the systems impact workers?
