Who Owns the AI in the Room?
AI is rapidly transforming AV - but the real shift is bigger than camera control and smart audio. The meeting room is becoming a sensor, the collaboration platforms a brain, and the building a responsive system. That convergence can finally solve long‑standing workplace problems: wasted space, inconsistent meeting experiences, inaccessible collaboration, runaway energy costs, and support teams drowning in tickets.
In this keynote, Tim Russell (Chief Technologist at CDW UK) reframes “AI in AV” as the front door to smart, human‑centric buildings. You’ll learn how AI‑enabled rooms can improve meeting equity and inclusion, how occupancy and environmental intelligence can optimise comfort and cost, and how to implement “trust by design” so automation enhances people rather than becoming big brother.
Some of the key questions Tim will answer:
- What does "AI in AV" actually change in workplace strategy - this year and five years out?
- Where’s the line between helpful intelligence and invasive monitoring?
- Who should own this: IT, AV, FM, HR - and how do you govern it together?
