Aya's Story: From AI Anxious to Top Influencer

AI is changing the AEC industry—but it can’t replace the human touch. In this episode of Breaking Ground: Women in AEC Leadership, we’re joined by Aya Shlachter, Founder of MGS Global Group and a recognized AI thought leader in architecture. Aya shares her personal journey from feeling overwhelmed by AI to becoming a trusted voice helping firms navigate change with clarity and confidence. She discusses AI as a tool (not a replacement), building community in the age of automation, navigating imposter syndrome, and why her milestone birthday led her to this reminder for every leader: don’t dim your light. Featured Resource: 📘 AI for Architects Research Report https://aiforarchitects.ai/c/researchreport Connect with Aya: Instagram: @aya_shlachter LinkedIn: Aya Shlachter YouTube: @MGSGlobalGroup Have questions or want to get in touch?
