The Rise of AI in Construction 

Make sense of this new technology, AI, and its impact on your business with this six-page research brief.  

By BuiltWorlds.  

These days, when people hear the term Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), they typically react in one of two ways: 

1. They imagine talking robots and movies such as The Terminator, The Matrix and Ex Machina. 
2. They start shuffling in their chairs uncomfortably and freaking out about having no clue what the term means. 

But thankfully, A.I. doesn’t have to be so complicated. And it’s so much more (and right now, a lot less scary) than world-dominating robots and talking machines. 

In fact, A.I. tech is already infiltrating the built world. From design, to project management, to jobsite safety, Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is transforming the way we construct our world. 

It comes at the perfect time –Statista.com is projecting a 27% increase in construction spending in the coming years due to grave infrastructure needs. Simultaneously, the construction labor force is shrinking. Leveraging A.I. will be essential to keeping up with demand. 

When you consider the possibility of having machines design buildings and monitor the jobsite more closely than ever before, it rapidly becomes clear the positive impact that A.I. can have on the industry and that it will no doubt have a place in its future. 

So, with all of that, we wanted to provide you with a roadmap. 

BuiltWorlds recently partnered with Microsoft to put together a six-page research brief titled "The Rise of A.I. in Construction" to help you make sense of this new technology and its potential impact on your business and the broader industry. 

Inside the brief, you’ll learn: 

1. How to describe A.I. to your colleagues and friends 
2. The differences between A.I., machine learning, and deep learning 
3. Case studies of A.I. technologies that are revolutionizing the design process, scheduling and productivity, project management and jobsite safety 
4. Fresh perspectives on A.I. from built world thought leaders and predictions for the future
