Here’s what we discussed:
AI is causing significant changes in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry. These changes are predicted to greatly affect the tools used for AEC design, the data utilized, the construction procedures, and the industry as a whole.
AI has the potential to be applied in numerous ways within the AEC sector, and these possibilities are continually expanding. It can assist in designing intricate buildings and systems while also aiding in the oversight of extensive infrastructure projects. AI is already making its mark on the future of AEC design and construction.
Autodesk joined a small group of industry executives for an exclusive dinner and evening of networking and insightful conversation on the transformative role of AI in shaping the construction landscape.
