The overwhelming surge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based applications in all wakes of life over the last few years will carry consequences for those industries that are slow to hop on the AI bandwagon, and those consequences may be quite significant. For the construction industry in particular, failing to do what needs to be done today to ensure readiness for taking full advantage of this fast advancing technology is nothing less than a bid for long term failure. This readiness does not just mean the development of AI tools to help in executing construction related tasks, but it also means that all construction project partakers must be adequately prepared for using such tools and possibly helping in the development of new ones. This obviously places the burden of well preparing future construction management professionals for an AI dominated work environment on construction engineering and management programs in colleges and universities.
With the overwhelming surge of AI-based applications over the past several years, industries slow to adapt may face significant consequences. The construction industry, in particular, can avoid long-term failure by taking steps today to ensure its readiness in taking full advantage of these technologies. It is not enough to simply develop AI tools to help execute construction-related tasks; adopting AI technology must be a holistic process involving all project stakeholders. Training them to use such tools not only contributes to current projects, but potentially helps in the development of future tools as well. This training should start at the most formative steps: construction engineering and management programs must embrace this burden of preparing their graduates for work in environments dominated by AI.
-
“All walks of life” is a cliched phrase that didn’t add anything to what was already being communicated by “The overwhelming surge”. Additionally, the author had misspelled it as “wakes of life”.
-
“…failing to do what needs to be done today” is a mouthful; rephrasing it to “taking steps today” framed it as a more active solution rather than a vague warning.
-
“Construction project partakers” is an awkward way of saying they’re stakeholders.
-
The sentence starting with “This readiness” is too long and tries to do too much at once. Splitting it helps the paragraph’s flow and gives each thought (developing AI tools and preparing the stakeholders) the space it needs.
-
Removed “obviously” from the last sentence since, in academia especially, if something is obvious, it doesn’t need to be said.
