Every organisation wants AI. Architects are caught holding the pressure while the reality lags behind the promise. This session looks past the hype at the pressure, the practical challenges and what AI really means for the people doing the work.

Alberts, 1 Albert Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010, New Zealand
About the event
Knowledge Space | AI & Architecture: The pressure, the promise, and the people caught in between
Every organisation wants AI.
Architects are caught in the middle, balancing the pressure to move fast with the reality of making it work.
At our next Knowledge Space event, we’re bringing together a panel for an honest conversation about what’s actually happening behind the hype, from leadership expectations and user demand to security, governance, productivity and what AI means for the people doing the work.
We’ll be talking openly about what’s working, what isn’t, and where the challenges are showing up
