- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: COMPASS 2026 Education Series presents AI for Communities: Using the Right Tool for the Job - February 25 and 26, 2026 ? ? 

Artificial Intelligence – AI – is a hot topic these days, with questions on when, where, how, and if it should be used in different circumstances. 

Join COMPASS as we welcome Dr. Tom Sanchez to share his expertise and insight into using AI to address the increasingly complex challenges that local jurisdictions face.

In this session Dr. Tom Sanchez will share how AI is already being used in the planning field and what else may be on the horizon. In addition to delving into the nuts of bolts of AI itself, Dr. Sanchez will also lead a robust discussion regarding the ethics of using AI, including privacy concerns, bias, and limitations. You will also have the chance to watch – or try your hand at – using AI to tackle planning tasks, such as summarizing public comments and evaluating “what if” scenarios.

For the workshop session specifically, we ask that attendees bring a laptop and REGISTER EARLY as space is limited. 

This is a FREE event!
