Join CIHT East Midlands for an afternoon webinar with Jim Anderson, Founder & CEO, Beacon Software.
Jim Anderson will give an honest and open account of where AI is genuinely transforming the highways and infrastructure sector, drawing on real deployments across agencies, and where it currently falls short. The talk centres on a change most professionals have not fully recognised yet. For the first time, we can treat words in the same way we've treated numbers. The implications for the sector, whose institutional knowledge is buried in millions of procedures, plans, and documents, is significant.
The sessions covers practical AI applications in transport planning, infrastructure management and traffic operations. Alongside the harder questions of governance, trust, and what responsible adoption actually looks like at scale.
Attendees will leave with a clearer view of what AI can and cannot do today, and a practical framework for the next two to three years.
This list is not exhaustive. From graduate engineers to senior decision makers, anyone who wishes to utilise AI tools in their careers and hear from a sector expert is welcome to attend.
