Great article as always James.

It’s interesting to see that the construction industry will 10x their investment in AI in the next 8 years. Great tools will result in that. I see a lot of usecases for construction companies like for example object detection tools to recognize safety issues on images from helmet cameras or a real time connection of the time schedule and construction progress. Just 2 examples.

My ideas are however at bit limited to see usecases in structural engineering. Excited to learn more in future articles.

Thanks Laurin! Yes the prevailing thought right now is that everybody understands that AI tech is about to cause a major shift in how larger projects are executed but companies are still confused about where to focus their efforts.

At the executive level, they want to spend money on AI but they're not quite sure where or how to spend it! The use cases, as you've suggested, are limitless but there is always a big risk/reward for the first pioneers to try new methods.

I will be digging more into practical AI use cases in the future. πŸ‘
