This session delivers a reality check on how AI and automation are actually changing inspection cost curves in energy and industrial operations. 

It focuses on where AI is already reducing manual review, accelerating turnaround times, and shifting teams from defect discovery to response prioritization—while being honest about where human expertise still dominates. 

Attendees will hear grounded case studies that move past AI hype and focus squarely on measurable ROI, risk reduction, and operational impact.
