Artificial intelligence is also a risk factor
Where the energy sector is concerned, AI continues to be integrated into ever more technologies – including those used in safety-related operations. AI-based systems represent a key resource and can help to reduce risk. But they may also do the opposite. Industries exposed to major accident risk are particularly vulnerable.
The challenge is to take a broad view and consider AI in an integrated perspective. To ensure the safe and secure use and maintenance of such systems, their development must rest on an interplay between people, technology and organisations. We must also ensure that AI does not make us more vulnerable to external threats and malicious actions.
Responsible use of AI is in the interest of everyone in the industry. Ultimately, responsibility for ensuring this rests with management.

What is Havtil’s Main Theme?
Each year, we highlight one theme and one heading that, at an overarching level, we ask companies to pay special attention to: our Main Theme.
The choice of Main Theme for a new year is the object of a comprehensive preparatory process at Havtil. But, for once, the outcome is simple – and easy to communicate. This single, short text, which we present every autumn, concerns a topic that we invite the industry, through its business leaders and decision makers, to examine particularly thoroughly and to act on as required.
Why? Because in this short message there are some important and complex challenges that need to be solved; challenges whose solution is fundamental for preserving and enhancing a high level of safety.
