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

SUMMARY:WCA Chapter Virtual Luncheon: Cost Estimation Guidance for AI Software Development Projects
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month’s Washington Capital Area Chapter (WCAC) International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) Luncheon: \n  \nSUBJECT: WCAC ICEAA January 2026 Luncheon: Cost Estimation Guidance for AI Software Development Projects\nPRESENTED BY: Arlene F Minkiewicz\nTIME: January 14\, 2026 | 12:00 to 1:00pm Eastern \nSUMMARY:\nThe rapid evolution and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within software development demands updated approaches to cost estimation.  Traditional cost estimation models\, primarily designed for conventional software projects\, often fail to address the unique complexities and variables inherent in AI algorithms.  This presentation provides a comprehensive framework for estimating costs in an AI-based software projects\, bridging the gap with insights from industry best practices\, academic research\, and lessons learned from recent AI projects.  Key cost drivers such as data preparation\, algorithm selection\, model training\, deployment\, and maintenance are thoroughly analyzed.  The framework introduces a multi-phased approach encompassing the many activities in a software development project\, tailored specifically to AI projects.  Emphasis is placed on the iterative and experimental nature of AI development and its impact on project costs and effort. \n  \nSpeaker:\nArlene F Minkiewicz is the Director of Cost Research at Unison Cost Engineering with over 40 years of experience building cost models.  She leads the cost research activity for TruePlanning®\, the suite of cost estimating products that Unison provides and is a software measurement expert dedicated to finding creative solutions focused on helping make software development and project management professionals successful \n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \nJoin the meeting now \nMeeting ID: 287 037 001 912 93\nPasscode: 9YT7ty3Q \nDial in by phone \n+1 929-352-1792\,\,820717398# United States\, New York City \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 820 717 398#
