BuiltWorlds’ May 1 analyst call was our second in a series of three AI-focused analyst calls for 2024. We were joined by four speakers from three AI-focused startups innovating the AEC industry. Our guest speakers gave demos of their platforms and solutions, and engaged in a discussion focused on data management and perceived hurdles to AI adoption.

As evident by the three different solutions on the analyst call, each with their own unique capabilities, there are many use cases for AI across the AEC industry.

Key Takeaway - Data Management

Many overthink what is required of them (and their data) for adopting AI-based solutions, which in turn, leads to hesitation to adopt such solutions. Each of our speakers stressed that their platforms do the work for you - you don't need robust data management measures in place in order to use their platforms. Once you start working with many of the AI-focused solutions on the market today, data collection becomes easy and insight collection becomes seamless.
