AI Prompting: A Fundamental Skill for the HSE Specialist of the Future

Artificial Intelligence as a New Management Language

The development of technology dictates new working rules for HSE specialists. Today, a workplace is no longer just a desk and folders with documents, but a laptop with internet access. The next logical step in this evolution is the integration of artificial intelligence into daily tasks. The speaker examines a fundamental skill of the future: prompting. This is not just the ability to write texts, but a fully-fledged language for managing AI. Just as programmers write code for machines, modern specialists use natural language to set tasks for neural networks. Understanding how AI "thinks" is becoming a basic literacy, without which it is impossible to effectively use modern tools.

From Routine to Delegating Pain Points

The presentation details the evolution of interaction with AI. At the initial level, these are simple instructions ("find", "bring"). The next stage is setting SMART tasks, for example, creating instructions. The highest level of mastery is delegating an entire problem. The speaker shows by example: if a company has a high injury rate, AI is able to analyze the situation, find best practices, select contractors, and propose a comprehensive solution. The emergence of browsers with built-in AI, capable of independently performing multi-step actions on the internet, makes this prospect a reality today.

Technical and Managerial Competencies of an HSE Specialist

For successful integration of AI into the HSE management system, specialists need a new set of competencies:

• Understanding AI mechanics: knowing how algorithms process information allows you to set correct tasks and not expect the impossible from the system.
• Business process analysis: the ability to break down work into processes is critical for identifying areas where automation will bring the most benefit.
• Working with data: information is the most valuable resource. Proper storage and structuring of data are necessary for subsequent analysis using AI.
• Using No-code and Low-code platforms: creating chatbots and automating routine tasks no longer require programming skills.

Four Levels of AI Maturity in a Company

The speaker identifies four stages of AI implementation:

• Basic prompting: the ability to formulate queries.
• AI assistants: using bots to solve local tasks by mass personnel.
• AI agents: autonomous systems capable of performing entire task cycles (e.g., email analysis).
• Ecosystem: full integration of AI into the HSE management system.

AI First and Prompt First: A New Paradigm of Thinking

The future of the industry lies in the balance of two approaches. AI First means that a company strives to automate any process that AI can handle before hiring a person. Prompt First is the mindset of an employee who asks themselves before every task: "Can I do this with the help of AI?". If a company transitions to AI First, and the employee remains in the old paradigm, they risk becoming obsolete.
