Beyond the Hype: Navigating AI in the AEC Industry

*Beyond the Hype: Navigating AI in the AEC Industry - Applications, Ethics, and Implementation* Join Andre Voss and Jorge de la Cova from DLR Group to discuss 'Why I’m over AI' … how task-specific machine learning algorithms are impacting architecture and design. As artificial intelligence permeates the built environment professions, architecture, engineering, and construction practitioners face a ethical, legal and technical challenges - how to critically evaluate, ethically adopt, and strategically deploy tools whose capabilities, limitations, and legal implications remain in active flux. This lecture interrogates the current state of AI integration across AEC workflows, situating emerging applications within a broader analysis of platform maturity, operational constraints, and sector-specific demands.
