Artificial intelligence (AI)
AI is profoundly transforming the way we do business. By taking a pragmatic approach to AI, we are finding trusted solutions that improve efficiencies and drive our company forward.
We look at AI in three ways:

- Leverage – ideation sessions help us understand the changing needs of our customers and the ways AI can support them. For example, with Computer Vision we have reduced the time it takes to perform detailed analysis tasks such as the identification of welding defects or the presence of asbestos in construction
- Usage – AI’s integration into our business processes has improved the identification of pain points and enabled us to better support our network of auditors. By improving efficiency and delivering a better service, we are able to add value for our shareholders and customers
