Description

Whether you know it or not, you have experienced artificial intelligence (AI) somewhere in your daily life. Even if you do not use Alexa, you probably do use Siri. Or you have experienced when calling customer service for….anything: electric company, phone company, Amazon. If you have called and been answered by a computer, you have experienced AI. Technology has dramatically increased in the last 5 to 10 years but more so in the last couple of years. Technology provides ways to make life easier. How better to make life easier than technology that understands what we want or think we want. Some of the first forms of AI in construction have been Building Information Modeling (BIM) and programs for scheduling. As AI increases and advances, how will AI affect everything that does into construction from pre-design to project turnover? How will AI affect architects, general contractors and suppliers? Will AI provide increased productivity, better efficiency, safer project sites, and increased revenue? Learning Objectives: 1. Identify where AI is used in construction currently. 2. Recognize advantages and disadvantages of AI in construction. 3. Differentiate where AI should and should not be used in construction. 4. Predict future possibilities of AI in construction.
