摘要

人工智能（AI）已成为新闻界的热门话题，对其潜在影响的描述从世界末日式的到救世主式的不一而足。对这一话题的兴趣无疑会刺激人们寻求应用，以支持工艺安全管理的技术和管理系统方面。在我们的行业中，由于年轻员工的频繁调动和资深员工的退休，保持机构记忆和技术能力变得越来越具有挑战性。人们希望人工智能能够帮助填补这些因素造成的空白。然而，作者对当前人工智能能力的抽样调查表明，人工智能还没有准备好这样做。本文举例说明了在寻求人工智能协助解决工艺安全问题时发现的一些错误和不足。本文还提出了在更好地 "培训 "人工智能以支持工艺安全领域的需求方面存在的一些挑战。本文的结论是，在寻求人工智能协助解决工艺安全相关技术问题时，尤其是经验较少的人员应谨慎行事。

Artificial intelligence (AI) and process safety: Some cautionary observations

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a vogue topic in the press, and descriptions of its potential impact range from apocalyptic to salvational. Interest in the topic will no doubt stimulate the search for applications to support both the technical and management systems aspects of process safety management. Within our industries, maintaining institutional memory and technical capability is made increasingly challenging by more frequent job movement among younger staff and the loss to the retirement of more senior staff. One would hope that AI could help fill the gaps caused by these factors. However, the author's sampling of current AI capabilities suggests that AI is not yet ready to do so. This paper provides some examples of errors and insufficiencies identified when seeking AI assistance in addressing process safety issues. It also suggests some existing challenges to better “training” of AI to support the needs of the process safety community. It concludes that caution should be applied, especially by less experienced personnel, when seeking AI assistance in addressing process safety–related technical matters.

期刊介绍： Process Safety Progress covers process safety for engineering professionals. It addresses such topics as incident investigations/case histories, hazardous chemicals management, hazardous leaks prevention, risk assessment, process hazards evaluation, industrial hygiene, fire and explosion analysis, preventive maintenance, vapor cloud dispersion, and regulatory compliance, training, education, and other areas in process safety and loss prevention, including emerging concerns like plant and/or process security. Papers from the annual Loss Prevention Symposium and other AIChE safety conferences are automatically considered for publication, but unsolicited papers, particularly those addressing process safety issues in emerging technologies and industries are encouraged and evaluated equally.
