SUMMARY:AI webinars - essential viewing for all surveyors
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to reshape the role of surveyors — not by replacing them\, but by changing how they work. It enhances inspection\, analysis\, reporting\, and decision-making\, while human expertise remains central for judgement\, liability\, and client advice. \nBy integrating AI into their practice\, members and RICS-regulated firms can make data-driven decisions. However\, the responsible use of AI is important for the benefit of all stakeholders\, including the public and the environment. As AI deepens its transformation of surveying practice\, establishing clear\, reliable standards is more critical than ever. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe RICS has just published its new professional standard on the Responsible use of AI  \nAI is increasingly being involved – both knowingly and unknowingly – in producing professional work in surveying. Since AI can be used to substitute human decision-making\, it is important to have safeguards in place to ensure members and RICS-regulated firms maintain control of their professional work. This ensures quality for clients and upholds high standards in the public interest. \nThe standard aims to: \n\nassist RICS members and regulated firms in establishing guardrails to maintain professional judgement while adapting to the use of this new technology\nbuild confidence in data management\nensure effective communication with clients.\n\nBy doing so\, the standard seeks to support trust among stakeholders and ensure AI enhances safety\, resilience\, and innovation in the natural and built environment. \nTo assist your understanding CPD essentials is running two webinars on AI \n\nWorkshop 1 – 19 May 2026 – AI for Surveyors – a practical introduction\nWorkshop 2 – 4 June at 4pm – AI Compliance and the RICS Standard\n\nAI for Surveyors: A Practical Introduction \nA practical introduction to AI for surveyors. What it is\, how it works\, where it fits into day-to-day practice\, and where it breaks. \nDelivered live by Nina Young\, founder of Surveyors UK. \nWhat we cover: \n\nWhat AI actually is\, in plain English\nThe tools you are already using without realising\nDemonstrations of AI tools\nHow to write prompts that get useful results\nWhat AI gets wrong\, and why that matters\nPrivacy and client data – what not to do\n\nFormat: One hour live on. One hour formal CPD. Slides and links sent after. \nDate: 19 May 4 – 5pm \nCost: £45.00 \nWorkshop 2 – GUARD AI workshop \n\n\nGetting started with the RICS Professional Standard on Responsible Use of AI in Surveying Practice \n\n\nG – Governance – what does your firm need in place before anyone touches AI? \nU – Use – what do you do when AI meets a live instruction? \nA – Accountability – who is responsible and what they must sign off?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nR – Risk – what could go wrong and how to manage it? \nD – Documentation – what must you tell clients and be able to show on request? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA focused\, practical workshop for surveyors and firm directors who need to understand the standard and act on it. Built around the GUARD Framework: Governance\, Use\, Accountability\, Risk\, Documentation. \nThe session is not an introduction to AI and it is recommended that you book both sessions. This session is focused on: \n\na map of mandatory requirements\nPractical guidance on implementation\nHow to structure your approach\nUseful tips and tools to take away\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKnow every mandatory requirement in the standard and which ones apply to your firm\nUnderstand the materiality test that determines how much of the standard you need to implement\nHave a practical structure for building AI governance using the GUARD Framework\nBe able to start building the core compliance documents the standard requires\nKnow how to explain to clients\, colleagues\, and insurers how your firm governs its use of AI\n\nFormat: One hour live online. One hour formal CPD. Slides and links sent after. \nDate: 4 June 4-5pm \nCost: £70.00 + VAT \n** BOOK BOTH SESSIONS FOR £100 AND SAVE £15 **
