From quick-wins to long term strategy, Nigel discussed how AI will impact the industry and how organisations can maximise the opportunities presented by the AI revolution.
How AI will shape the future
In his 40-minute session, Nigel Taylor explored the practical impact AI is already having on marine businesses, as well as the developments that are likely to shape the sector over the next year. He focused on how organisations of all sizes can start using AI in a measured, affordable way, without needing large budgets, in-house technical teams or specialist expertise.
The session avoided speculative, futuristic claims and instead concentrated on real-world use cases, practical opportunities and sensible first steps for operators looking to improve efficiency, decision-making and day-to-day processes.
AI Experts
Nigel leads PerformOS, an AI software integration business that helps organisations make effective, secure and practical use of artificial intelligence. His work centres on cutting through the hype around AI and helping SMEs, mid-market companies and sector leaders identify where the technology can deliver genuine operational value, particularly in complex, regulated or traditionally underserved industries.
Having spent the past two years supporting UK businesses with the adoption of AI, Taylor brought a clear, direct and accessible perspective to Seawork, showing how marine organisations can begin turning AI from a talking point into a useful business tool.
