This Black History Month, we've come together with our B.E. Inclusive partners to create Common Ground, a powerful new film featuring Black professionals from across the built environment sector.

Through personal reflections, the film explores the influences, challenges and opportunities that have shaped careers, inspired change and helped shape the world around us.

Look out for the full film which will be released on 20 November. You can read more about CIOB's involvement in the B.E. Inclusive partnership here: https://brnw.ch/21x6Mqm

There's no shortage of conversation about what AI can do. Perhaps the more important question is what we actually want it to do.

At CIOB, we see real opportunities for artificial intelligence to make a difference. Helping members find the information and support they need, improving our services and freeing up colleagues to spend more time on the things that matter.

But embracing AI also means recognising the responsibilities that come with it. Our Board of Trustees has approved a new AI Vision and Strategy that sets out how we intend to approach this evolving technology, with transparency, accountability, fairness and human judgement at its heart.

As our Chief Operating Officer, David Hancox explains, we're interested in the benefits AI can bring, but not at the expense of the trust and professional standards our members expect from us.

It's an approach that balances ambition with responsibility, and one we will continue to develop as the technology evolves. Read more about our thinking and explore the strategy at https://brnw.ch/21x6Mbc

This afternoon (Wednesday 28 October) we have issued a response to the UK Government's Budget announcement.

David Barnes, head of policy and public affairs at CIOB, said: “This Budget was an opportunity for the Government to set out how its ambitions for the built environment will translate into proper action through its devolution and local growth agenda.

“Devolution must mean more than a transfer of powers or a change in governance. It must give local leaders the resources, long-term certainty, and capacity to deliver tangible improvements, including in housing, infrastructure and construction skills."

Everybody is desperate to figure out how best to leverage the benefits of AI in their work. In our latest Sir James Wates lecture, Despina Katsikakis explores 'AI and the Reorganisation of Work and Place: Opportunities for the built environment', unpacking the lessons construction can take from other sectors.

Over the past 40 years, Despina has led the innovation and implementation of transformative workplace environments for prominent global businesses.
