AI/ML Preparedness Forum | July 25, 2024
As the use of AI grows, an unanswered question offering opportunity for thought is the ability to upskill or re-prioritize labor as time-consuming manual tasks become efficient and automated. For example, rather than dedicating a team to generate manual responses to RFP after RFP, what if tools existed to automate the bulk of the process, freeing up response teams to think more strategically about proposals? In our next AI/ML Preparedness forum meeting hosted at our Construction Technology Conference, Jeff Danley, Director of Innovation with Burns & McDonnell, will share how they are collaborating with Google to address these opportunities.
