Abstract

The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has allowed industries to automate and improve their efficiency in operations. Especially in process industries, AI helps to develop intelligent models and tools to proactively monitor and predict equipment or system failures, minimize downtime, and optimize maintenance schedules. With the advancements in AI and its ability to perform tasks, there is a growing belief that AI may eventually replace humans. However, the absence of human involvement in operations in the process industry raises safety concerns. Therefore, AI should collaborate with humans rather than replace them in processing facility operations. This technology is referred to as intelligence augmentation (IA). This article (i) presents a detailed comparison between AI and IA's potential in process systems, (ii) identifies the feasibility of using AI and IA in process safety, and (iii) identifies the risk associated with the implementation of AI or IA in process industries.

工艺安全 4.0：人工智能或智能增强技术如何实现更安全的工艺操作？

人工智能（AI）的发展使各行各业得以实现自动化并提高运营效率。特别是在流程行业，人工智能有助于开发智能模型和工具，以主动监控和预测设备或系统故障，最大限度地减少停机时间，优化维护计划。随着人工智能及其执行任务能力的进步，越来越多的人认为人工智能最终可能会取代人类。然而，在流程工业中，如果没有人类参与操作，就会引发安全问题。因此，人工智能应与人类合作，而不是取代人类参与加工设施的操作。这种技术被称为智能增强（IA）。本文(i)详细比较了人工智能和 IA 在流程系统中的潜力，(ii)确定了在流程安全中使用人工智能和 IA 的可行性，以及(iii)确定了在流程工业中实施人工智能或 IA 的相关风险。
