About the live course
AI is all the rage in today’s design firms, but many jump into the deep end without regard for the security and veracity of their source data. Further, many firms still separate their design technology and IT teams—despite their sharing of critical data. In this session, we will explore today’s cloud, cybersecurity, and AI landscape in AEC, highlight the risks of inadequate preparation for AI, provide guidelines for establishing a firm-wide digital foundation, and share a simple framework for evaluating AI tools and platforms you may be considering for your practice.
- Understand the current landscape of cloud adoption, cybersecurity, and AI across the AEC industry.
- Outline the business risks of exposing your firm’s data to unfettered cloud and AI use.
- Assess your firm’s current digital infrastructure and data literacy to determine AI readiness.
- Apply a simple framework in evaluating AI apps and other tools for your practice.
