About the Presentation

Cities often compete for the attention of large corporate brands to settle in their communities.  With the recent explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) changing work and life, cities want to be known as technology leaders. Project Management should not only enable the business with innovation but also just as importantly managing risk for the business.  In this session, we will explore Project Management’s role to understand potential and realized risks of accommodations to secure and implement “Big Tech” initiatives in communities with respect to energy, water, and waste systems. Attendees will be exposed to the use of risk management frameworks to identify and mitigate these risks and drive sustainable outcomes as well as the situational applicability of ethics in the profession.

Learning Objectives:

·         Understand the environmental risks posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

·         Understand how to use risk management frameworks for AI.

·         Apply situational judgment in response to ethical concerns in AI implementations
