The last two years have changed everything. AI has moved from boardroom buzzword to operational reality -- and the marine industry is no exception. But most businesses are still waiting for someone to explain it plainly, without the hype, without the jargon, and without trying to sell them something they do not need. That is exactly what this session does. Nigel Taylor has spent the last two years helping UK businesses cut through the noise and start using AI practically -- and he is bringing that same straight-talking approach to Seawork.

In 40 minutes, he will show you what AI is genuinely delivering for commercial marine operators right now, what is realistically on the horizon for the next 12 months, and -- critically -- how businesses of any size can take a sensible first step without a technology team, a large budget, or a leap of faith. No robots. No coding. No hype. Just an honest conversation about one of the most significant shifts the marine industry will face in the next decade -- and a practical framework you can use the moment you leave the room. "You do not need to build the engine. You just need to learn to drive it."
