A Strategic Conversation on Data and AI Implementation
Aleksey Chuprov, Suffolk; Rajitha Chaparala, Procore; Ted Jennings, Barton Malow;
As data and AI continue to redefine the AEC industry, leaders are faced with both exciting possibilities and complex challenges. This panel will explore the strategic impact of data and AI on project workflows, supply chain management, and decision-making. Rather than focusing solely on specific use cases, we’ll dive into the broader implications: How can general contractors leverage these technologies to drive efficiency, safety, and profitability? And what steps are necessary to build a data-driven culture that empowers teams at every level? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on making data and AI work for everyone in the industry.

To Build or Not To Build: Navigating the Landscape of AI-Powered Solutions
High Seaton, The Link: Igor Tsinman, AMC Bridge; Dustin Schaefer, Henderson Engineers; Peggy McGilley, McCownGordon Construction
As AI becomes a game-changer in the AEC industry, companies face a crucial decision: Should they build custom AI tools in-house or invest in ready-made solutions? This panel will dive into the pros and cons of both approaches, helping AEC professionals weigh the benefits of tailored, in-house AI development against the efficiency and scalability of off-the-shelf products. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the factors to consider, such as budget, expertise, time constraints, and long-term strategic goals, to make the best decision for their organization.
