  • Garbage In, Garbage Out: Using AI Responsibly in Process Safety

    Garbage In, Garbage Out: Using AI Responsibly in Process Safety
    Oct 13 2026

    AI agents are now so easy to build that almost anyone can create one, but easy access doesn't mean blanket permission. In this episode, Trish and Traci explore how agentic and generative AI can help chemical facilities by gathering data for risk assessments, spotting weak signals in process trends and freeing engineers from administrative work. They also cover the risks: hallucinated sources, rogue agents and company information leaking into public tools. Trish urges listeners to fix broken processes before automating them, keep risk assessments human-led and verify every output. The goal isn't to fear AI but to use it thoughtfully.
