Artificial Intelligence Awareness : New Zealand Planning Institute

This workshop is designed specifically for those planners who don’t intend to use artificial intelligence (AI) or generative AI (GenAI) in their work. What do planners need to know to operate in the era of AI? This workshop gives these planners an awareness of the impact of AI on planning practice. It is also ideal for managers and team leaders who have team members starting to use AI, especially GenAI.

This workshop is running over 2 consecutive mornings and you must attend both days. Registering for this workshop will automatically confirm your place on the 2nd day.

Day 1 - Tuesday 13 August - 9.00am - 12pm - you must attend both days
Day 2 - Wednesday 14 August - 9.00am - 12pm - you must attend both days

This workshop will:

Provide a simple introduction to AI and GenAI and use cases in planning
Explore ethical issues around AI in planning such as bias and safeguards
Introduce likely regulation and controls around use of AI including the recent NZ Guidelines for use of Gen AI in Courts and Tribunals
Help you robustly respond to use of AI by others in their planning work

This workshop works best as a Bring your own Device session, but this is not essential. We will look at some quick examples of AI as part of the simple introduction to AI.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the workshop attendees will:

Understand the basics of what AI and GenAI are, and how these technologies may be used in planning
Be able to recognise the use of AI in planning work
Understand how AI may affect planning processes and the work of your colleagues
Awareness of the ethical issues around AI for professional planners

Who should attend?

The workshop is targeted to experienced planners who do not intend to use AI themselves but are wanting to gain an understanding of the impact of AI on planning, planning processes and environmental management. It is designed for those with no (or very little) knowledge around artificial intelligence. It is also useful for managers or team leaders wishing to better understand use of AI by their team members.
