How can a chatbot prevent accidents at sea? The Danish start-up Scoutbase has just landed a contract with Shell UK after a successful pilot project in which they gathered feedback on the well-being of the crew on board through their chatbot. The ambition is to reduce human error through an ongoing insight into human factors such as sleep, well-being and work pressure from the perspective of the seafarers.
One of the key players in the Nordic IT sector changes CEO. After seven years at the head of KMD, Eva Berneke has resigned as CEO of the Denmark based IT group.
