By CSI HQ posted 11-13-2018 05:26 PM

  

Greg Ceton, CSI, CDT, CSI director of strategic initiatives and special projects, has been writing a series of articles examining how emerging technology such as Artificial Intelligence will—or already has—affected the construction industry.

 

His latest article, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work, is one the most viewed posts on CSIresources.org.


In it, Ceton writes, “The result of AI and its appearance in the workplace is not likely to be the fully automated job wasteland that many fear. Instead it will likely conclude as most other technological advancements historically have—with a change in work habits and a renewed focus on the skilled work firms are paying for.”

You can read the entire article here. These are his Top Three Takeaways:

  • Increased use of AI and related methods of algorithmic analysis have already made design more effective.
  • More solutions and information about design and constructability will become available as AI tools become cheaper, better-integrated, and more commonplace.
  • Increased use of robots onsite will help to relieve the burden shortage of skilled workers presents and could increase worker productivity and worksite safety.
