Rethinking EHS: Global Goals. Local Delivery.10 Maalis

BONUS: The Agentic Era – AI and the Future of EHS

In this follow-up to our last episode on AI in the tech industry, Host Angie Dickson, President of the Inogen Alliance and EVP of Antea Group USA, sits down with Karl Huntzicker, Global VP of Health and Safety at Salesforce, to look ahead at the future of AI in EHS.

Karl shares how the move from bots to agents marks the beginning of what he calls the “agentic era,” where digital tools are not just answering questions but taking action, conducting investigations, and helping EHS professionals focus where it matters most. The discussion highlights opportunities for augmentation, the evolving idea of a digital workforce, and the hope that AI will finally allow EHS leaders to achieve long-standing goals.

“I really want to look back in five years and say we built agents that made sense, that helped our employees, that provided care to our employees, and that moved the health and safety program forward.” – Karl
