“AI is out there already. This is not some kind of super-duper future thing that we’re waiting for. It’s with us.” So said Mark Enzer, Strategic Advisor at Mott MacDonald, at our 'Pace of Change in AI, Data and Analytics' seminar in June. In this podcast, our guests Mark Enzer and Dale Sinclair, Head of Innovation at WSP, chat to Andy Murray, Executive Director of the Major Projects Association, to explore what can be done right now with AI.
The guests discuss why the use AI in projects needs to be purposeful and the importance of getting the foundations right: good data and skills.
They each give examples of where AI and data analytics is making a demonstrable difference to major projects and offer practical tips on how all of us working in major projects can keep up with the pace of change in AI. Dale also explains his 'Three Little Pigs' story metaphor which he first spoke about at our June seminar.
This is the first of three podcasts ahead of our Annual Conference in October which will be on the topic of AI.
