ABOUT THE SESSION
When it comes to AI in the AEC industry, it has mostly been the cover page–ready applications of AI to the infrastructure lifecycle getting the attention. However, there are equally valuable applications of AI within core support functions in our organizations, specifically Quality, Safety and Risk (QSR) management. Kevin covered a series of real-world and speculative examples of new QSR management approaches that take advantage of different combinations of AI applications.
