This session explores how AI learning and capability are developing across our DIN community, both through SUSY (uptakeAI’s unique AI learning platform) and more broadly. Whether you have already started using SUSY or you have not been introduced to it yet, this is a practical space to understand what is happening across the sector, hear early insights and challenges, and build confidence in a safe, steady and people-centred way.

You will have the chance to see how members are beginning to approach AI learning and responsible adoption, ask questions, and get a brief introduction or refresher on SUSY and its role in supporting AI literacy.

What This Session Will Cover

1. Early Learning and Sector Insights

• What members are discovering as they begin to build AI literacy.• Common opportunities and challenges emerging across the sector.• What these early patterns tell us about confidence, readiness and culture.

2. Building AI Capability at a Sustainable Pace

• How People and Culture, HR and L & D teams can support colleagues as they learn.• Practical, low-risk ways to encourage responsible AI use across different roles.

3. Understanding Responsible and Ethical AI

• What appropriate and safe AI use looks like in day-to-day housing work.• How members are beginning to navigate governance, trust and risk.

4. SUSY: Introduction, Demo, Q and A and Discussion

• A short introduction or refresher for those new to SUSY.• A brief demonstration shaped by attendee questions.• Space for open discussion on what is working, what feels unclear and what support is needed.

Why This Matters

Housing organisations are starting from very different points on their AI journey. This session helps you understand where your organisation sits today and how to develop AI confidence and capability in a realistic, grounded and supportive way. It is designed to help colleagues learn at their own pace, ask honest questions and build the skills needed for safe, responsible adoption.
