In this episode of The Restoration Rundown, I’m joined once again by Doug Weatherman to revisit a topic that’s becoming harder for the restoration industry to ignore: Artificial Intelligence.
About a year ago, Doug wrote an article in C&R Magazine titled “We Have a Big Problem,” raising concerns about how AI could influence the restoration claims process and whether contractors may be feeding data into systems that could eventually be used against them.
Shortly after that article was published, Doug joined me on The Restoration Rundown for an episode called “AI and the Future of Restoration.”
Now, a year later — and after massive advances in AI — we’re revisiting the conversation to ask an important question: “Are restoration contractors paying enough attention to how AI could reshape the industry?”
In this episode we discuss:
💥 How AI may already be influencing insurance claims
💥 Whether contractors could be unintentionally training AI systems
💥 The growing value of restoration industry data
💥 What AI could mean for negotiations with carriers
💥 How restoration owners should approach AI moving forward
