Overview:

As architects, engineers, and contractors continue their journey of learning where AI/ML fits within the built world, BuiltWorlds is excited to host its inaugural “AI and Machine Learning in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Annual Meeting.” The goal of creating the AI/ML Research Track and its associated Forum Group is to cultivate an environment for peers to openly discuss challenges, opportunities, best practices, and viable solutions relating to this novel technology. Participants include 30+ of the most forward-thinking AEC players attempting to gain an edge over their competitors.

In an attempt to better understand the extent to which point solutions will factor into the expansion of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the AEC industry, the first panel session of BuiltWorlds’ AI and ML Annual Meeting will host three technology providers hoping to address specific pain points with the implementation of AI - nPlan, SmartPM and Autodesk. It’s no secret that large language models (LLMs), equipped with massive amounts of historical data, can help streamline various workflows and processes within organizations by generating predictive analytics in seconds.

That said, AI-enabled point solutions are poised to bolster modeling and simulation capabilities, enhance project management and collaboration with key stakeholders, and empower the industry to proactively prevent risk by analyzing project data to forecast outcomes. See below for more information on the speakers, participating companies, and some of the topic areas the panelists will address!

Topics To Be Covered:

  • What are the most exciting applications on the market
  • Balancing the rollout of new technology to ensure the product or solution is market-ready
