Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the built environment across the MENA region, from automated measurement and cost estimation to planning and reporting. While these technologies promise efficiency and speed, they also introduce a critical challenge: conflicting outputs, hidden assumptions, and increased uncertainty in decision-making.
This session explores how professional responsibility is evolving in this context, with a focus on Quantity Surveyors and construction professionals operating in MENA’s fast-paced, high-value project environments. Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, the webinar will demonstrate why governance, professional judgement, and accountability remain non-delegable under RICS standards. Attendees will gain insight into how to navigate AI-assisted workflows, assess risk, and make defensible commercial decisions in a region where accuracy, speed, and accountability are all under pressure.
Understand why AI-generated outputs in construction can differ and the risks this creates for professional decision-making.
Develop a structured approach to assessing AI outputs and exercising professional judgement in commercial scenarios.
Recognise the continued importance of accountability, governance, and ethical responsibility under RICS standards.
Identify how to position yourself as a relevant and future-ready professional in an AI-driven construction environment.
