La Inteligencia Artificial está transformando el ámbito de la Salud y Seguridad en el Trabajo, ofreciendo herramientas innovadoras para prevenir riesgos, optimizar procesos y mejorar la toma de decisiones. Sin embargo, su adopción plantea desafíos éticos, técnicos y organizacionales que requieren un enfoque riguroso y responsable. Este artículo explora las tendencias actuales en la implementación de la Inteligencia Artificial y la Salud y Seguridad en el Trabajo, identificando oportunidades, brechas y lineamientos para su uso efectivo. Se realiza una revisión integradora de la literatura publicada entre 2020 y 2024, centrada en aplicaciones de la Inteligencia Artificial está transformando el ámbito de la Salud y Seguridad en el Trabajo. Las fuentes incluyen artículos científicos, revisiones sistemáticas y estudios de caso indexados en Scopus y Web of Science. Se analizan cuatro tendencias clave: prevención predictiva de accidentes, monitoreo en tiempo real, automatización de inspecciones y análisis de datos para la mejora continua. Se evidencia que la Inteligencia Artificial es un potencial significativo para mejorar la Salud y Seguridad en el Trabajo, destacándose en la identificación temprana de riesgos, la optimización de procesos y la reducción de accidentes. Sin embargo, se identifican desafíos críticos, como la protección de datos personales, la transparencia de los algoritmos y la equidad en la toma de decisiones. Además, se existe la necesidad de marcos de gobernanza y políticas institucionales que garanticen un uso ético y sostenible de estas tecnologías. Por lo tanto, la Inteligencia Artificial representa una oportunidad sin precedentes para mejorar la seguridad y el bienestar en el trabajo, pero su éxito dependerá de la capacidad de las organizaciones para abordar los desafíos éticos y técnicos asociados. Este artículo contribuye al debate académico y práctico, proponiendo lineamientos para una adopción responsable y efectiva de la Inteligencia Artificial y la Salud y Seguridad en el Trabajo.
