On August 27, 2026, First Bit held a private AI readiness business breakfast in Dubai for owners and senior executives of UAE construction companies. The invitation-only event brought together business leaders to discuss how AI is being used today, where it is already finding applications in construction, and what companies need to have in place as AI use expands.

The first part of the program looked at the current AI landscape and how adoption is developing across industries. The discussion then moved to construction, where speakers reviewed how AI is already being used in day-to-day work. Reporting, document management, cost management and forecasting, contract administration, scheduling, and estimation were among the areas discussed during the session.
The speakers also discussed the gap between formal AI adoption at the company level and the tools employees may already be using independently. This "Shadow AI" creates governance and security challenges when AI use develops faster than company policies.

A Step-by-Step View of AI Adoption

During the event, Hakim Kuvatov, Commercial Director at First Bit, explored the rapid growth of AI and what it means for business leaders, looking at market trends, adoption patterns and the challenge of turning experimentation into measurable results. He emphasized that effective AI adoption is less about simply introducing new tools and more about identifying repetitive, document-heavy and measurable processes where AI can deliver practical value.

Aleksandr Smolianinov, Founder and CEO at First Bit, then shared how First Bit is using AI internally. He spoke about the company’s AI Assistant and an AI Advisor developed to support management work, including meeting preparation, tracking decisions and commitments, and reviewing different options and risks. He also discussed the importance of having company information well organized before AI can work with it effectively. For the AI Advisor, this included strategy, metrics, meeting records, and decision history.
