🌟 One key reason to attend the AITPM - Leadership in Traffic and Transport Conference is to expand our industry knowledge! 🚦 However, this year's exhibition feels a bit underwhelming, not because of who's here, but because of who isn't. 🤔 Notably, some engineering firms, including AITPM partners and conference sponsors, are missing. While they are presenting at the conference, having a presence in the exhibition would give attendees more opportunities to discuss ideas and explore company offerings. 💡 But, hey, maybe they're just saving the best for next year! 🎉 Until then let's make the most of the great connections and insights we're gaining here. See you at the next session! 😉 #AITPMPerth24 #TrafficTransport #IndustryInsights #Networking #Engineering

Where we are now and where we will be in the future

Turner and ACS Group get "moving" The Spiral hosted this week's #IA Innovation Symposium in New York. The event brought together industry professionals across disciplines to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in the design and construction of buildings and cities. Turner, together with the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, held the meeting whose central theme was "Exploring the Future of AI in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction Industry," where AI-driven productivity enhancements, the evolution of job roles, and AI's potential to surmount longstanding industry challenges were discussed. The discussion also emphasized the importance of governance and responsible use of AI in driving innovation in the AEC industry. The talks addressed in depth the future of urban development and the role of AI in creating more efficient and innovative buildings and cities, keeping as a top commitment to #sustainability ⭐. This event marks another step in Turner and ACS Group's continued commitment to adopting AI technologies and capabilities.   More information available at: #WeBuildABetterFuture #OneGroupOneTeam HOCHTIEF, Turner Construction Company, CIMIC Group Limited, Flatiron Construction, Iridium Concesiones de Infraestructuras, S.A. , Abertis

This is a great report in the current state of AI in AEC. Few points to highlight: 1) 28% of the firms already using AI at some capacity. 2) Quality control of AI output is the biggest risk (for engineering firms). 3) Start experimenting with AI technologies. No need to roll to entire company. 4) Work with others, you do not have to build it yourself.
