Takeaways

• The EU Act, which has been enforced since August 1st, has practical impacts on the use of AI tools and may create a two-tier system in terms of innovation and freedom of use.
• The UK government's approach to AI adoption is still unclear, with mixed messages and changes in funding for AI infrastructure projects.
• The rollout of OpenAI's voice feature shows promise and has the potential to become an integral part of project teams, providing information and reports hands-free.
• The construction industry still has a long way to go in terms of digital tool adoption, with a significant number of companies still using basic tools like the Microsoft Power Suite.
• Education and awareness are crucial in driving AI adoption and moving away from traditional tools like Excel.
• Accessibility and positive use cases of AI, such as assisting individuals with disabilities or enabling productivity with limited physical capabilities, should be highlighted.
