🎇 Hello and welcome 2025! As we all pull wearily into the new year, we'd like to remind you all that we'll be kicking things off with a BANG with our new webinar!🎇 Over the past couple of years, AI has been gradually introduced, aiming to automate laborious manual processes, increase consistency; and save both time and money. With a continual squeeze on local government resources, there is a clear logic to this. However, it is currently offset by hesitancy, caution and sometimes fear. It’s fascinating to observe how AI has started to take hold in planning and local government, and where it is (and isn’t) working. In this webinar, we will look at how AI is being developed across several areas and its current successes and limitations. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/e_MYF7v7 Join us on 14/1/25, when we will explore how: 🤖 AI currently being used and how will it be used in the future 🤖 The legalities surrounding the use of AI in planning 🤖 How local authorities could benefit from AI? 🤖 How these models are (and should) be trained Our expert panel includes: Mike Saunders Bridget Wilkins May-N L.
