Why data standards matter - Unlocking scalable AI in UK housing

AI holds real promise for housing, from responsive repairs to predictive asset management. However, without consistent, interoperable data, the sector runs the risk of having isolated pilot projects with only a shallow impact. This talk will explore why UK Housing Data Standards are a critical enabler of scalable AI adoption, not just a technical detail.

The quality of speakers was excellent and their insight was very valuable. The more we share in the sector, the better.

CHP

Excellent combination of the housing sector and data professionals exchanging ideas and innovations.

Platform Housing Group

A fantastic opportunity to get together with other organisations and talk about the data that matters to you!

Sovereign Housing

Events like these are crucial to help us consider different views, gain insight and perhaps walk away with a solution or idea for a particular problem. The wealth of knowledge and the methods used by the key speakers are invaluable, perhaps more so than some training events that I have been to.

The event (Data Matters) was extremely interesting and touched on many relevant challenges facing the sector in the coming years.
