AI (artificial intelligence) is perhaps one of the biggest trends to watch in the months to come, with many analysts predicting growth and technology providers making big moves in this area. PwC even suggests that global GDP will be 14% higher in 2030 as a result of AI, which is the equivalent of an additional $15.7 trillion. One big area in construction that is set to change is scheduling, with a new acquisition that happened this week. InEight announced it acquired BASIS, a company that purpose-built an AI planning software tool for the construction industry. The software captures insights and learnings from prior projects and uses the knowledge to make informed suggestions during the planning process.
