??Driving technological transformation in construction The potential of digital twins and AI to revolutionise the construction sector has been widely discussed. The recently released Information Management Initiative from the Construction Leadership Council and Nima (National Digital Twin Implementation and Management Agenda) aims to harness “sector-transforming capabilities in applying emerging digital technologies,” such as AI and digital twins. And government ministers have pledged to set out a long-term plan for AI infrastructure needs this spring, saying they were "committed" to drawing up a 10-year investment roadmap. But how easy is it to turn these ambitious plans into reality? What challenges are holding construction back, and where can it take the lead? Join Construction News on 27th March for a webinar sponsored by Matterport. We will discuss: ??Use cases for AI/digital twins in improving building safety, project modelling and resource scheduling. ??How AI-enabled spatial tools for construction data management can improve the construction process. ??Issues facing the adoption of data-intensive technologies such as digital twins in the construction sector. ??The potential impact of new technologies on the labour shortage and other big issues facing the construction industry. ??
