We recently hosted the Controls and Skills Authority Digital Community of Practice Fight Night in Birmingham. This lively panel debate explores the impact of AI on project delivery, jobs, and industry practices. Experts challenge the notion that AI is just a tool or a threat, examining cultural, technical, and structural factors shaping AI adoption in construction and beyond.

3 Fights

1. Culture is the No.1 Enabler for AI Adoption - Ronald Dyer vs Andrew Knight
2. AI is just a tool, it won't replace jobs - Lisa Silander vs Marco Frisenda
3. AI Does Not Improve Project Delivery - Sarah Crawley vs Kashan Ratyal
