Three talks

30–45 minutes
Talk 01

Physical AI on the factory floor

Most factories already have cameras. I talk about what changes when they can notice an unsafe moment and tell someone in time.

Talk 02

The SIF that didn't happen

Serious injuries don’t come from the same places as minor ones. I talk about how we measure the ones that were prevented, and why that matters to the people on the floor.

Talk 03

Getting the floor to trust the machine

A camera that watches people is easy to resent. I talk about what it took for teams to trust ours, and what we got wrong at first.
