AEC Industry Practitioner

AEC industry practitioners are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to enhance project efficiency, safety, and quality, but ethical considerations and workforce trust are crucial for successful implementation. Current research focuses on understanding factors influencing trust in AI-powered tools, such as safety, reliability, and transparency, often employing structural equation modeling and text mining techniques to analyze patent data and identify key trends in AI adoption. This research is significant because it addresses the critical need for responsible AI integration in the AEC sector, improving both project outcomes and worker well-being.
