Presentation Summary

As Architecture & Engineering (A&E) firms navigate the complex landscape of escalating costs, an aging workforce, and a widening skills gap, the need to innovate and maintain a competitive edge has never been greater. This session will give firms a look into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a transformative solution, capable of significantly streamlining project management and operational processes by enhancing workflows, optimizing resource allocation and improving data-driven decision-making. We will explore practical applications of AI within the A&E industry, ranging from automating routine tasks, to providing advanced insights crucial for strategic planning across various project phases. We will also address the most common barriers to AI adoption within the industry.
