ABOUT THE SESSION
In the past 18 months, the industry has seen an explosion in the adoption of generative AI and large language models by individuals and organizations. Latest advances in GPT models have opened the door to a new era in the use of natural language as the interface between humans and computers, while also providing the ability to search and reason over large, unstructured data sets.
Tim explored how we might expect these ongoing advances in generative AI to accelerate the transition of the AEC industry to one in which data becomes increasingly central to the core business models and creation of value across the entire industry.
