Seemingly the latest technology \u201cbuzzword\u201d these days, new (and not so new) AI applications are being implemented and talked about everywhere you turn. As my colleague,\u00a0Amanda Grannis\u00a0recently wrote for Ingram\u2019s\u00a0Real Estate Report, \u201cAI has permeated nearly every aspect of the virtual landscape and is now presenting an impact on the physical environment as well.\u201d To learn more about the application of AI in the architecture, engineering and construction (\u201cAEC\u201d) industry, my colleague and fellow NFT Newsroom contributor\u00a0Rachel Hong\u00a0and I attended an event hosted by the Professional Women in Construction\u2019s (\u201cPWC\u201d) Professional Development Advisory Council (\u201cPDAC\u201d) last week: How Will AI Benefit the Built Environment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderated by Dan Conery, Senior Director of Product Strategy &amp; Management at\u00a0Trimble Inc. an industrial technology company, PDAC\u2019s event hosted panelists from different segments of the AEC industry as they discussed the ways they and their teams are using AI in their work and how this technology has already and will continue to impact the industry. Panelists included Denis Leff, Director of Digital Engineering at\u00a0Suffolk Construction, a national leader in general contracting, Aman Krishan, Principal at\u00a0HOK, a global design, architecture, engineering and planning firm, Jeff Siegel, Director of Digital Transformation Solutions at\u00a0HNTB, an infrastructure design firm, and Karolina Torttila, Director of AI at Trimble Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The panel event opened with a discussion of the history of AI and an overview of what goes into developing and implementing effective machine learning applications before delving into each panelists experience with AI in the industry. I was surprised to learn how deeply involved the AEC already is with AI. From AI assisted programs that turn two-dimensional doodles into 3D shapes to AI monitoring of construction site video feeds in real time to the compilation of a complete inventory of traffic signals and other equipment by an AI powered computer using only videos and photos of the area (in six seconds!), the possible applications of AI in the built environment truly are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One topic of conversation that I found particularly interesting at PDAC\u2019s event was the discussion of potential future uses of AI technology in the connection with the improvement of residential and commercial spaces. For example, imagine a world where your HVAC system could not only sense the temperature of your home, but could also factor in a myriad of other data, including real time information about incoming weather patterns and adjust accordingly to anticipate your heating and cooling needs in real time. Your home or commercial space would not only be more comfortable, but likely would be more energy efficient. AI-driven scanning technology could also be used to make renovations less costly and run more smoothly. Who hasn\u2019t had a renovation project knocked off course \u2013 at least slightly \u2013 by the discovery that something hadn\u2019t been installed quite the way you expected? With AI-powered technology, a contractor or designer could scan the space and the AI application could compare the information it gathers to the as-built drawings in order to discover and resolve potential conflicts before a single hammer is picked up. This would save both time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, with great power comes great responsibility and AI, which can only be as accurate as the data is has access to, is no different. As you\u2019ll read in our NFT Newsroom next week, it is crucial that the results generated by any AI-powered application, regardless of the industry its used in, must be verified before being implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When one of your cases is in need of a construction expert, estimates, insurance appraisal or umpire services in defect or insurance disputes &#8211; please call Advise &amp; Consult, Inc. at 888.684.8305, or email <a href=\"mailto:experts@adviseandconsult.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experts@adviseandconsult.net<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kemberly Barcella | Ingram Yuzek Gainen Carroll &amp; Bertolotti Artificial Intelligence (\u201cAI\u201d) is everywhere.
