POINT OF VIEW German researcher Svenja Lauble points out the need to take account of the specific AI needs of construction professionals. She shares her vision for successful adoption by sector professionals. “To start integrating artificial intelligence into their operations, professionals must first digitize the vast amount of data and resources they handle on a daily basis. Too often, this is still on paper (drawings, building archives and registers, expert reports, etc.). Supplemented by opensource resources (such as EPD or Open Street Maps), it can then be used as input data for AI applications. These might be dedicated to predictive project management, design and materials optimization, or smart building management, for example. The long-term goal would be to build a database continuously populated with anonymized and statistical data, managed by a neutral body, to inform decisions and speed up the transition to more sustainable construction. By harnessing the strengths of human expertise and AI technology, the construction industry can quickly move towards more sustainable results.” “It is essential to develop AI tools dedicated to construction professionals” 40
