Summary

Join CIOB Hemel Hub for a session designed to ground the conversation on what AI means for SMEs, contractors & larger construction companies

Artificial Intelligence is the most talked-about topic in construction today, but for

many businesses, it remains a buzzword. Between the hype, the fear of getting it

wrong and a lack of clear strategy, many firms are either ignoring AI entirely or

investing in tools they don't know how to use safely.


Members will leave with a clear understanding of the AI landscape, a realistic view

of their own data maturity and actionable steps to begin or continue their AI journey

safely and effectively.


This evening session will focus on a panel discussion looking at the following topics:

  • Orientation Vs. Automation.
  • The "Data Readiness" Reality Check.
  • Security, Governance & "Shadow AI."
  • Finding the Right Starting Point (or Next Phases.)


There will be an opportunity for an Q&A at the end and we look forward to welcoming you!


Please note: this event is for over 18’s only.


This learning activity can contribute to your annual CPD return and should be logged accordingly.
