“…It is important to note the majority of the experts saw no danger that LLMs will replace researchers in the foreseeable future. They share this expectation with researchers in the field of AI and work, who in their optimistic scenarios expect a shift in tasks, the creation of new tasks and an emergence of new work profiles rather than the replacement of workers (Deranty and Corbin 2022).…”

“…This technology finds application in diverse areas, such as coordinating machinery and industrial processes, workforce management (especially from a human resources [HR] perspective), customer risk assessment, benefits analysis, and staff safety evaluation. 56 To safeguard their workforce, employers can adopt various strategies recommended by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). These measures include providing information and training on job hazards, implementing comprehensive safety programs, and supplying PPE.…”
