AI is creating new opportunities for municipalities to improve their services and make administration run more efficiently. However, the technology is changing very quickly, and it can be difficult to determine what is the best decision for your community when undertaking digital transformations. 

In this presentation, we will cover the different ways that AI can assist building department service delivery, how the technology works, and what officials should consider when choosing the best solution for them. We will also talk about issues arising from the use of AI and how municipalities can be certain their data is being kept secure and properly used.
