CSINext: AI and its Impact on Building and Compliance

AI and its Impact on Building and Compliance presented by Edward Cilurso from ICC and Paul Gosselin from Archistar. 

This presentation provides a practical overview of artificial intelligence and its growing role in the building industry. It establishes a foundational understanding of Large Language Model (LLM) AI and explains how these systems work, then explores how the International Code Council (ICC) has implemented a specialized AI architecture through its AI Navigator tool to support code research and interpretation.

In addition, the presentation highlights where AI is already embedded within today’s building code content and workflows, offering real-world context for current applications. It concludes by looking ahead to emerging opportunities, examining how AI may shape the future of building codes and the development of intelligent tools that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making across the building industry.

Learning Objectives:

1. Providing a core understanding of Large Language Model AI.
2. Looking at how the ICC has harnessed unique AI architecture for its AI Navigator tool 3.
3. Discussing where AI can be found in today’s building code content
4. Peering into the future of possibilities for AI, building codes, and applications that support the building industry
