Debunking the Myths behind AI – what it really means for you as a Project Professional

So, what does AI mean for you as a project professional, how can you take advantage of it to improve the success of your project? This webinar was held on 1 May 2025.

There is a lot of misinformation, myth, and misconception surrounding Artificial Intelligence in the press and on social media. Using real world examples and case studies around project and risk management, Carl Dalby looked at what AI is and is not, and how Project Professionals can use AI to help augment their decision making by gaining valuable insights into what their data is actually telling them.

Carl adapted his talk to reflect the very latest thinking in this very fast-moving sector
