Abstract

This research explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on advanced construction technologies. The study investigates how AI integration can enhance construction management processes, improve project completion rates, provide quicker updates, and reduce costs. Despite the widespread adoption of AI in industries such as software, education, and automotive, the construction sector has been slower to embrace these advancements. This research aims to identify the benefits and challenges of incorporating AI into construction projects, including its effects on social and workforce environments and cost implications. Utilizing a survey methodology and literature review, the study targets construction companies, focusing on higher managers, construction managers, executives, and research and development branches. The findings will cover demographics, company positions, work experience, technology usage, and the perceived advantages and disadvantages of AI in the workplace. The combined data from surveys and literature reviews will provide insights into the potential future growth of AI in the construction industry. Keywords: AI, Construction Industry, Advancement, Managers, Project Management, Project Control
