According to BSI’s Trust in AI Poll, a global survey with more than 10,000 respondents across nine countries, 45% of people working in the built environment sector globally say their job currently uses AI. Of those who say it doesn’t yet, 42% expect it to by 2030, and 68% expect the sector overall will. The possible applications of AI for the construction industry could be transformative — spanning everything from design to procurement, construction, operation and decommissioning. But this new era of efficiency could mean a new era of learning and development for workers in the construction industry as they adapt ahead of changing responsibilities. Younger generations of workers may be coming out of school with some comfort with, and knowledge of, AI, but too few of those workers are entering the construction field. According to a 2021 report, only 16.7% of Gen Z students said they’d be interested in working in construction someday. Given this reality, and as the industry works to recruit more effectively from the younger ranks, upskilling and reskilling existing workers is pivotal.

Very promising!
