Are Contractors Training the Machines That Will Beat Them? | Doug Weatherman on AI & Restoration Claims

Are restoration contractors unintentionally training the AI systems that could eventually challenge their estimates? That’s the question we explore in this episode of The Restoration Rundown. A year ago, Doug Weatherman wrote an article in C&R Magazine titled “We Have a Big Problem,” raising concerns about how artificial intelligence could influence the restoration claims process. 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 — after massive advances in AI — we’re revisiting that conversation. 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 📖 Read Doug’s Article “We Have a Big Problem” – C&R Magazine https://www.candrmagazine.com/letter-to-the-editor-we-have-a-big-problem/ 🚀 Want to Grow Your Restoration Business?
