Description
With the rise of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and prefabrication, a lot is going to change in the next five years. During this roundtable, we would like to have a discussion on how these new technologies will change our current processes, our company, and our careers. How will prefabrication and modular construction affect the build process? Will machine learning replace structural engineers? How will computational design affect architects? Will everyone in our industry have to be a computer programmer? How much of it is hype versus reality? These are the types of questions we’ll be asking and will want your knowledge on. Come join our community of thought leaders and industry disruptors as we tackle practical ways to advance the architecture, engineering, and construction industry!
