SUMMARY:SoCal Chapter Webinar: AI’s Practical Impact on Cost Engineering
DESCRIPTION:AI’s Practical Impact on Cost Engineering\nJanuary 13\, 2026 | 11:30am-12:30pm (pacific)\n  \nAI is beginning to streamline the daily work of cost engineers by helping teams find information faster\, reducing rework\, and enabling more consistent early estimates. Join Galorath’s Chief Strategy Officer\, Charles Orlando\, for a session that explains the power of artificial intelligence in clear\, practical terms and focuses on what matters most to cost professionals: accuracy\, traceability\, and dependable support in high-stakes work. We’ll look at how Estimation-Centric AI (ECAI) assists with tasks such as organizing inputs\, reviewing assumptions\, generating structured first-pass models\, and running quick scenarios. Rather than replacing expertise\, AI accelerates time-consuming tasks\, allowing analysts to focus on judgment\, reasoning\, and communication. We’ll also address common questions around trust\, security\, and human oversight\, and show how ECAI delivers support that is transparent\, traceable\, and firmly guided by human judgment. Attendees will leave with a grounded understanding of what AI can do today and how it can make their work easier\, faster\, and more consistent. \nSpeaker:\nCharles Orlando\, Chief Strategy Officer\nGalorath \nCharles leads strategy\, AI innovation\, and go-to-market at Galorath. He drives the company’s AI initiatives\, including SEERai—an enterprise platform for cost\, schedule\, and risk estimation. With 30 years in B2B SaaS and applied AI\, he focuses on secure\, real-time platforms for enterprise operational intelligence and high-impact execution across complex\, high-stakes environments. He holds degrees from UC Berkeley and Arizona State University\, where his award-winning thesis explored AI’s impact on human language and higher education. \n
