Roundtable: The Only Constant is Change - Drive the Change You Want to See
Thu, Oct 1, 10:00 PMThere are two elephants in the room … or rather several pairs of elephants: Autodesk monopoly vs AI enabling democratization of tool creation; standards vs openness; simplicity vs complexity; single source or truth vs data translation; trust vs check; drawings vs data deliverable; organic construction process vs datafied world; using AI right vs using AI well; applying standards vs building skills; individual expertise vs institutional knowledge; think it through vs get it done. In this open roundtable conversation, we’ll have plenty of questions to be explored: Are we building better judgment, or slowly outsourcing it? What is reliable? Who is liable? How do we query smarter? What does the law say … and your insurance? But most importantly: You bring your anxieties & questions; we bring the food & beer – and maybe together we can find an answer or two. Join us on Oct 1, 6:00pm. **Learning Objectives** 1. **Identify** the key tensions AI introduces into BIM workflows — including standardization vs. personalization, efficiency vs. foundational knowledge, and individual tool-building vs. collective consistency. 2. **Evaluate** the risks and liability implications of AI-assisted design decisions, including how QA/QC and review processes must adapt when data sources and workflows are no longer centralized. 3. **Assess** how AI is reshaping reliance on established platforms like Autodesk/Revit, and what this means for interoperability, data delivery, and long-term software strategy. 4. **Develop** practical strategies for building (or encoding) domain expertise — through skills, training, and mentorship — so teams can use AI effectively without losing critical judgment and fundamentals. **Microsoft Teams meeting** **Join:** [https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/23420331144527?p=5aSHRxmZK71KchtKI7](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/23420331144527?p=5aSHRxmZK71KchtKI7 "Meeting join") Meeting ID: 234 203 311 445 27 Passcode: tT63zM3h *** [Need help?](https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting?omkt=en-US) \| [System reference](https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZGZhNmE4NDEtNTA5Zi00MzkxLTgyYTYtNDMwMDJhZjA1ZmQ4%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%220fc6889f-bf23-4c66-a071-f35150aabdfa%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%225f7aa5b0-d1e9-40e0-8c9d-74b0d20c89d6%22%7d) **Dial in by phone** [+1 531-205-2209,,14583825#](tel:+15312052209,,14583825) United States, Omaha [Find a local number](https://dialin.teams.cloud.microsoft/e1607c7c-f4af-4edc-9d47-10ce22c20bfb?id=14583825) Phone conference ID: 145 838 25# For organizers: [Meeting options](https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=5f7aa5b0-d1e9-40e0-8c9d-74b0d20c89d6&tenantId=0fc6889f-bf23-4c66-a071-f35150aabdfa&threadId=19_meeting_ZGZhNmE4NDEtNTA5Zi00MzkxLTgyYTYtNDMwMDJhZjA1ZmQ4@thread.v2&messageId=0&language=en-US) \| [Reset dial-in PIN](https://dialin.teams.cloud.microsoft/usp/pstnconferencing)
