In just three weeks, three frontier AI models landed from three different companies. Google released Gemini 3. Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.5. And OpenAI pushed out ChatGPT 5.2 after an internal code red scramble.

That compressed release cycle is not normal. It signals a turning point in how fast AI capability is moving and, more importantly, how work ready these tools have become.

In this episode of Safety Rewired, Andy breaks down what this sudden acceleration in the AI arms race actually means for health and safety professionals. Not in abstract hype terms, but in the day to day reality of H&S work.

You’ll hear a clear comparison of where Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT now excel, why long context and reliability matter, and why ChatGPT 5.2 represents a step change for professional knowledge work. Andy also explores practical use cases already emerging in safety teams, from analysing large incident datasets to drafting policies and turning regulations into plain language.

Just as importantly, the episode tackles the risks. Over trust, weak data, and governance gaps can turn AI from a productivity engine into a liability if it is not treated like a new worker on site.

If you are responsible for safety and spend too much time buried in paperwork instead of on the floor, this episode will help you understand where AI can genuinely help right now and how to use it without losing professional judgement.
