Can You Trust AI With Project Decisions?

Every AI platform in the project controls space is making the same promises. Most of them cannot answer the one question that actually matters: how do you know you can trust what it tells you when the decision is high-stakes, the data is live, and the consequences are commercial?

With Greg Lawton, Gareth Weigh and Andy Garnett

There is no shortage of AI platforms promising to transform project controls. There is a shortage of project controls professionals who have seen one work on a programme they would recognise as their own.

In this session, Andy Garnett and Gareth Weigh from The Herne Group do something rare. They open up a live national critical infrastructure project they are actively working on and show, in real time, how they are using Nodes & Links to interrogate schedule data, surface recovery options, and produce analysis that can influence project outcomes on a live programme.

No scripts. No synthetic data. A real project, with real pressure, shown by the professionals responsible for delivering it.

The Herne Group are a specialist project controls consultancy with experience across complex critical infrastructure projects. The questions being asked by project controls professionals are the same questions this session is built to answer:

Does this actually work? Can you trust what it tells you? Would you stake a major project decision on it?

Greg Lawton, CEO and Co Founder of Nodes & Links will open the session to discuss why AI in project controls has a trust problem, what you should be looking for when you evaluate any tool in this space, and what makes Nodes & Links different from a general-purpose LLM when the decision you are making has commercial and contractual weight behind it.

Then Andy and Gareth take over. And you can judge for yourself.
