Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the construction and smart buildings sectors, unlocking new efficiencies, predictive capabilities and design innovations.

But with great power comes real responsibility. In this session, Women in BIM (WIB) - a global network championing diversity and digital leadership - will explore the acceleration of AI adoption in the smart tech sector, through education, mentorship and cross-industry collaboration.

At the same time, the session will address the critical risks AI introduces, from data bias to over reliance and ethical concerns. Attendees will gain balanced insights into how AI can be applied responsibly in smart technologies, while highlighting the importance of inclusive leadership in mitigating risk and guiding innovation. Join WIB to discover how a more diverse and digitally empowered workforce is key to unlocking AI’s true potential in the built world.
