What generative AI can do for construction right now.
Aaron Anderson – Director of Innovation for Swinerton – a California-based construction firm, discussed the impact generative AI is having on the construction industry. Describing his company as a “Microsoft shop,” Anderson talked about the collaboration between Swinerton and Microsoft – and the access to technology that Swinerton is leveraging to enhance various aspects of its operations. Enhanced design and planning, improved safety measures, and operational efficiency are just a few examples. Using AI-powered applications, project management can be streamlined, and tools are applied to monitor constructions sites in real time to ensure safety. (Source: Construction Dive)
Why this is important for your business:
Larger companies in the construction space, like Swinerton, have the resources to invest in custom-built, internal AI solutions. But the construction industry is made up of thousands of smaller firms and for those firms to truly realize the benefits of this technology the software makers that provide construction applications will need to incorporate AI functionality in their offerings.
