Embrace Change
With AtkinsRéalis’ Darren Martin 

AtkinsRéalis’ Chief Digital Officer, Darren Martin, sits down with BST Global’s Chief Executive Officer, Javier A. Baldor, to discuss the AEC industry’s progress and challenges when it comes to evolving AI technology. 

Darren touches on the potential for AI to augment human effort across AEC operations, from helping to address the climate crisis to identifying critical risks on a construction site. He acknowledges the need to be cautious when incorporating AI technologies but also encourages leaders not to be afraid of the possibilities. Darren notes that it’s important to “find tolerable use cases that don’t disrupt the status quo so much that people run away from it but lean into it and enable it to start moving forward faster.”

The two discuss a host of AI-focused topics, including human/machine interoperability, the agentic movement, using AI to win work, and bridging the knowledge gap between a firm’s digital native professionals and its decision makers. Listen to the full episode to hear what else Darren shared.
