Episode 02-06: Tannis Liviniuk - The Future of AI
07/10/24 • 37 min
Welcome back for the sixth and final episode of our second series, “AI in the AECO and Beyond.” Our host, Carl, speaks with Tannis Liviniuk, Digital Advancement Executive at Zachry Group, about the current state and future of AI in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry. What they discover during the discussion is that AI is a valuable assistant that can help with mundane tasks, such as sifting through millions of documents, and also serve as a tool for learning and exploration. The use of AI can lead to curiosity and deeper engagement with projects, ultimately providing real value and convenience.
Key Topics Discussed:
- AI in Construction: The evolution of AI and its current applications in the AECO industry.
- Data Management: The importance of data quality and the challenges of managing vast amounts of project documentation.
- Future of AI: Predictions on how AI will continue to shape project planning, risk management, and overall workflow efficiency.
- Practical AI Tools: How AI can assist in daily tasks and improve productivity without replacing human jobs.
- Corporate AI Policies: The necessity of secure and ethical AI usage within organizations.
- Educational Insights: Encouraging exploration and learning of AI tools to stay ahead in the industry.
The above was created with a helping hand from an LLM from the Podcast episode transcript, which was transcribed by AI 😁
