This session is designed to give water and wastewater professionals a clear, practical introduction to how artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday work. Participants will explore what AI really means in a business setting, where it already shows up in familiar tools, and how it can be used safely and responsibly to support daily tasks. No technical background is required, and the session is paced to be comfortable for anyone who is curious but unsure where to start.
The workshop also focuses on real workplace scenarios, including how AI can help save time in meetings, support clearer communication, and reduce the overhead of routine work. Just as importantly, the session will address the human side of change, offering guidance on how to introduce new tools in a way that builds confidence, trust, and adoption across teams. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of what is possible today and how to take simple, thoughtful first steps in their own organizations.
Topics covered:
- A practical approach to getting started with AI
- Ways AI can support communication, meetings and day-to-day tasks
- Approaches to introducing AI to your organization in a way that encourages confidence and adoption
Who should attend: This session is ideal for water and wastewater operators, supervisors, managers, and support staff who are curious about AI and want a practical, easy to understand starting point. It is especially suited for those who influence day to day operations, communication, training, or process improvement and want to better understand how AI may support their work without needing a technical background.
