Highwire has launched an AI-powered safety risk management tool that provides contractors with deep insights through automated document reviews and risk identification, reducing thousands of man-hours spent on traditional manual reviews. The tool offers more accurate contractor assessments, helping managers implement mitigation strategies before work begins, categorizing safety protocols as general, detailed, or comprehensive, and going beyond simple pass/fail analysis to support more informed decision-making. This AI technology was developed at Harvard University and aims to serve large companies with mature safety programs as well as small contractors, with the goal of enhancing safety.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) announced the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze surveillance licensing data, aiming to identify money laundering and fraud activities. The AFP stated that they expect AI technology to enhance the efficiency of policing, although its current usage is limited. AI tools, including large language models, are expected to help discover useful information within large-scale data, thus accelerating decision-making and actions. This initiative is particularly important in combating economic crimes, as these crimes involve complex data and patterns. The AFP emphasized transparency, ethics, and legality, ensuring data protection and privacy.
