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