The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is believed to have said “the only constant is change,” an apt statement for many elements of life—but especially work. Historical advancements in work and labor have all felt revolutionary or even destabilizing in the moment, but embracing change, responding to it, and growing from it has been the success story of many companies. Several of the world’s most well-known brands have withstood the introduction of the assembly line and the personal computer. Now there’s head-to-head with artificial intelligence and extended reality.
That’s why it’s important for industry leaders to understand both today’s needs and tomorrow’s trajectory. They may not resemble what is known and practiced today—and that’s okay. Adapting to constant evolution helps you develop your business or work responsively. Today’s trends offer insight into the changes leaders and industries should pay attention to now – to thrive in the future.
1. AI arrives in construction
The construction industry is increasingly adopting ANNs and other AI tools to help with planning, projections, and analysis.
Discussing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the future of construction technology can cause a stir, raising concerns about the possibility that AI-empowered robots will overtake human capabilities. The truth is, AI is present in construction now, and it is necessary to meet the growing demand for infrastructure globally. It’s uniquely suited to make human work more efficient, safer, and more creative.
AI tackles many of the tasks humans also do—including data and risk analysis, and complex scheduling—but more efficiently. For example, during the preconstruction phase of a project, a lot of important tasks must be completed, often in quick succession.
