Title: AI in the Building Department: Hype, Help, and How To Trust It

Description: AI is entering building departments—not to replace professionals, but to support them. This session explores how AI can act as a trusted copilot to help you move faster, work smarter, and stay focused on what matters most. You’ll learn how to evaluate AI tools, use them in a code-compliant way, and build trust in a technology that’s evolving quickly. If you’ve ever wondered how AI could actually help—not hinder—your work, this session is for you.
