Over 75 people will be at Sandy Park to celebrate Phil’s achievements in the company of guest speakers from the EA, Wiltshire Council and Devon CC. It promises to be a great morning! #civilengineering #infrastructure #CECASouthWest

With over 600 guests in the room, the whole evening was fantastic, with speeches from the Chair Mark Oakley FCIOB , comedy from Connor Burns and music from Showhawk Duo.

✨ #AI in UK Construction Civil Engineering Contractors Association (National) 🎤 Yesterday, I was delighted to join Paul Wilkinson on a panel to discuss AI & Legal Issues in UK Construction at CECA's first AI conference. A fast-paced and constantly evolving space! We only scratched the surface on #data, #AIregulation, challenges and use cases - but really enjoyed the discussion. Other panels which I thoroughly enjoyed: 💡 Overview of CECA's forthcoming publication on AI & UK Construction (Alasdair Reisner) 💡 AI & UK Construction - Building the Future (Huda As'ad, 🚀 Josh Wallman, Simon Romp) 💡 How AI is Already Boosting Performance in UK Construction (Philip Clifford-Brown MSc. MIoD, Dev Amratia, Amer Altaf, Matthew Ward-Close) 💡 Case Studies from: Balfour Beatty plc, Brian Hammersley FCIHT FIHE, BuildPrompt, Harry Yates, and Inframatic, Michael Rustell 👀 Do look out for Civil Engineering Contractors Association (National)'s forthcoming report on AI in UK Construction. Thank you Alasdair Reisner, Marie-Claude Hemming and your team for a brilliant and insightful conference. 🙏 #AI #construction #infrastructure #technology #BIM #constructionlaw #collaboration #AIlaw #AIinUKconstruction

I had the pleasure of participating in the CECA Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Construction Industry recently. The event provided valuable insights into AI applications in infrastructure projects. Moreover, I had the privilege of chairing a panel discussion on the risks associated with AI. Here are some key takeaways from the conference: - Privacy/data concerns regarding the use of AI technology, particularly related to personal and sensitive commercial data, as well as intellectual property. - Worries about workforce displacement and the implications for individuals and their roles. - Ethical considerations surrounding the utilisation of AI. - Regulatory risks, which stem from functional risks observed in the industry. These issues are not limited to a specific sector and likely resonate with discussions within your own organisation. I extend my gratitude to the panellists, Pavlina Nikolova, @Prof. (Dr.) Samer Bagaeen FRICS MRTPI FRGS, Dr Robert Plana. Robert Plana, and joining us remotely from the west coast USA, Jack J, for their informative presentations and responses to queries. My thanks to the fabulous Nicola Sinclair for working so hard at this through her leadership of the Charitable Trust. While we acknowledge the known risks, what about the risk of forgoing these technological tools and missing out on the substantial benefits they offer? What are your thoughts on this balancing act?
