Beyond BIM
With NVIDIA’s Sean Young 

Sean Young, Director of AEC, Geospatial & AI Solutions Industry Marketing at NVIDIA, sits down with BST Global’s Chief Marketing Officer, Eileen M. Canady, to discuss how AI, geospatial data and digital transformation are reshaping the AEC industry, with a focus on NVIDIA’s role in that shift.

Sean shares that AI is becoming foundational in AEC, not just as a support tool but also as a driver of productivity, innovation and potentially new revenue streams. He explains that firms need to begin adapting now — through hiring, culture shifts and experimentation — to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.

Touching on the evolution of AI, Sean notes that, “AI is just a natural progression from 2D to 3D to BIM to AI. It’s just the way technology is moving, and I believe it’s going to be fundamentally transformative, much more so than any other technology that’s preceded it.” With that, he urges AEC firms to get started with AI, hire the right people and upskill current staff for greater success.

Sean and Eileen also discuss education and workforce readiness, filtering AI hype vs. reality, the future of design and simulation, career and life advice, and more.
