Event Details

The construction industry is being pulled into the AI revolution, and most of the members have employees using it whether they know it or not. This seminar is designed to help AGCVA members understand where AI is showing up, what risks it introduces, and how to protect their businesses.

What will be covered:
• AI in Construction Today 
• Cyber Risks 
• Data Risks 
• AI Workplace Policy 

Key Takeaways for Attendees:
• Understand where AI is already entering your projects and operations
• Identify the specific cyber and data risks your firm faces right now
• Know what questions to ask AI vendors before adopting any new tool
• Walk away with a framework for building your own AI workplace policy

Why This Conversation Matters for AGCVA:
• Most construction firms have no formal AI policy — that gap creates real legal and financial exposure
• Cyberattacks on construction firms are increasing as technology adoption grows
• AI tools can retain your project data, pricing, and client information — often without firms realizing it
• This affects every member, regardless of company size
• The firms that adopt AI thoughtfully and securely will have a significant competitive advantage
