1 AIA LU| Elective credit available
Join us on July 24th for a special one hour “coffee Break” where we will hear from Damon Leverett, AIA, on Artificial Intelligence and Small Firm Practice
Damon Leverett’s presentation will focus on AI's implications for small firms, the basics of machine learning, and leading artificial intelligence(AI) modalities. Architects will understand potential AI workflows and how to evaluate ethics and risk. The discussion will also cover recent legal cases regarding intellectual property and copyright law and examine the regulatory landscape in the US and other countries.
At the end of the lecture, participants can communicate deeply with their counsel and insurance carriers about specific needs in creating an essential AI policy. The session will be lecture-style, with a 45-minute PowerPoint presentation and a 15-minute questions and answers segment.
Join fellow small firm peers for weekly virtual coffee breaks every Wednesday morning via Zoom.
As an alternative to the monthly SFx events, these informal meet-ups hope to build a sense of camaraderie & collaboration in this remote working environment with professionals throughout the state.
