fbe Greater Manchester - AI (friend or foe) How artificial intelligence is infiltrating the built environment and what should our response be?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the topic of the moment, infiltrating everything from how we write content (this excerpt has been written with the assistance of ChatGPT) to major industries like medicine, law and media. In the domain of the built environment, AI is reshaping how we design, construct and manage buildings. While the uses of this new technology are in their infancy, AI has the potential to transform every stage of the building lifecycle.
