#7. AI or Die? Harnessing the Power, Dodging the Pitfalls

December 15, 2025 • The Fire Safety Event

The Silicon Valley tech bros’ mantra might be ‘AI or die’ but when it comes to safety, we can’t shrug our shoulders and blame ChatGPT if someone gets hurt.

The fire and safety sectors are worlds mired by conflicting standards; the value we add is helping people navigate and justify what should or shouldn’t apply

Along with Andy (the brains behind AI risk assessment engine Intuety.io), we'll be asking questions like:

Are smaller businesses limited to products like Copilot and ChatGPT?
Why it’s (generally) dangerous to rely on generic AI for anything safety critical
Practical applications of AI in fire and safety (including custom LLMs)

🎙️Speakers:

Adam Sanders, Technical Director - RiskBase
Peter Thomas, Founder - Mysafetyconsultant
Andrew Ryan, Chief Technical Officer

This podcast was recorded live at The Fire Safety Event in April 2025 and the session took place at the Fire Safety Leaders Summit, sponsored by RiskBase.
