Course Description
As AEC firms navigate an increasingly complex data environment, the need for robust data control and security has never been greater. With the rapid growth of project data, artificial intelligence (AI) offers practical, scalable solutions for managing permissions, preventing data leaks, and uncovering actionable project insights. Beyond automation, AI plays a critical role in supporting ethical and compliant data practices—enhancing, not replacing, human decision-making. This course explores how AI can empower AEC professionals to proactively manage data governance, mitigate risks, and build organizational resilience. It’s time for the AEC industry to adopt a smart, secure, and responsible approach to data through the thoughtful integration of AI.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify the key data security and governance challenges currently faced by AEC firms as project data volume and complexity increase.
- Explain how AI technologies can be used to support secure data management, including permissions control, leak prevention, and project analytics.
- Evaluate the role of AI in promoting ethical and compliant data usage, and how it complements human oversight rather than replacing it.
- Assess practical strategies for integrating AI into data governance frameworks to improve organizational resilience and reduce risk exposure.
