AI for Good-Innovate for Impact

Existing solutions often require extensive data collection, labeling, and model training, which
is both time-consuming and resource-intensive. In contrast, Securade.ai utilizes a generative AI
approach to streamline this process, allowing for faster, more cost-effective deployment and
easier customization to meet specific safety requirements. This method significantly reduces
the need for manual data annotation by employing zero-shot object detection and visual
prompting techniques, thereby speeding up the implementation process from weeks to just
days or even hours.

The benefits of adopting this AI-based approach include a substantial increase in safety
compliance and productivity, with companies reporting an average of 500% ROI within the
first year of deployment and an 80% reduction in safety violations. However, it's important to
acknowledge potential limitations, such as the initial learning curve associated with adopting
new technology and the necessity of integrating these systems with existing safety protocols
and infrastructure.

Furthermore, the scalability and flexibility of Securade.ai's platform support a wide range of
use cases, from PPE compliance and proximity estimation to zone management and behavior
monitoring, making it a versatile tool for enhancing workplace safety. Future work will focus on
further refining AI models, expanding the range of detectable safety violations, and enhancing
the user interface to make it even more intuitive. The goal is not only to maintain the alignment
with ITU’s standards but also to contribute to the evolution of these standards by setting new
benchmarks for safety and efficiency in high-risk industries.

UN Goals:

• SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being,
• SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth,
• SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Justify UN Goals selection: The Generative AI-based Video Analytics for Improving Worker
Safety directly contributes to three key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

• SDG3 - Good Health and Well-being: By enhancing worker safety through real-time
monitoring and alerting systems, the AI solution directly contributes to reducing
workplace accidents and injuries, thereby promoting good health and well-being among
workers. Implementing such technologies ensures safer working environments, crucial
for preserving life and preventing health issues related to occupational hazards.
• SDG8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth: Safety is a fundamental aspect of decent
work. The AI platform's ability to prevent accidents enhances workplace safety, which is
intrinsic to creating decent and safe working conditions. This not only aids in achieving
economic growth by reducing downtime and healthcare costs associated with workplace
injuries but also improves productivity and worker satisfaction.
• SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: The adoption of innovative AI technologies
in creating safer workplaces embodies the spirit of SDG 9. By integrating generative AI
into existing CCTV infrastructure for safety monitoring, the solution promotes industrial
innovation. Moreover, it contributes to building resilient infrastructure by ensuring
workplaces are equipped with advanced safety measures, paving the way for sustainable
industrialization.
