How to Govern AI Use Across Design, Construction, and Real Estate

AI adoption is accelerating in the building industry. Get practical guidance on governing security, liability, and responsible AI use.

This second installment of the Catching Up to AI series focuses specifically on governance and risk.

In this panel discussion, we are bringing together two experts who actively advise AECO organizations on technology, compliance, and exposure. Together, we’ll discuss the practical realities of AI use in professional practice and what it takes to govern it responsibly.

Marcial Velez, IT leader and managed services provider to real estate firms and enterprise organizations, will address data security, internal AI policies, shadow AI use, and how organizations can protect client and project information while allowing responsible experimentation.

Richard Davies, a building industry focused attorney, will discuss professional liability, standard of care when AI is involved, contractual considerations, disclosure questions, and where AI does not reduce legal responsibility.

In this session, you will gain:

  • Clarity on whether it is safe to put project and client data into AI tools
  • An understanding of who owns AI-generated content and how intellectual property is affected
  • Practical guidance on how to govern AI use inside your organization
  • A clear view of legal exposure and what firms should document and control

This session is curated for firm leaders, technologists, and corporate real estate teams navigating AI adoption under real accountability.
