ABOUT THE SESSION
In this session, Tim Wark explores how the current AI wave is likely to accelerate the shift in the design and construction model from one currently based on time and materials to one focused on value and outcomes. Global infrastructure spending is expected to exceed $9 trillion in 2025, and with large and complex projects now dominating the landscape, traditional project management approaches are becoming increasingly challenging. The latest advances in generative AI now provide the ability to reason and extract insights over vast data sets underpinning the entire infrastructure lifecycle, enabling the shift to a future of data-centric asset models.
