Education Session
Many landmen have begun using AI, but using it effectively presents new challenges and opportunities. This panel brings together practitioners and builders to explore what separates casual AI use from work that genuinely improves outcomes, covering everything from individual productivity tools to the realities of enterprise deployment. Panelists will address the practical questions landmen face daily: how to evaluate new tools, how to stay in control of your work product, and how to think about professional responsibility when AI is part of the process. Whether you are just getting started or looking to go deeper, you will leave with a clearer picture of where the technology can help, where it can hurt, and what AAPL is doing to support members through the learning curve.
