Listen Later

You've probably been hearing all the AI buzz in civil engineering over and over again. A new tool here. A possible new use there. But how is all the new tech being actually implemented at AEC firms? 🤔

That’s why this episode with Bhragan Paramanantham is so enlightening! 

He started as a civil engineer out in the field doing normal, day-to-day tasks while asking himself “There’s gotta be a better way to do this.” 

That curiosity eventually pulled him into the world of innovation and tech in the AEC industry…and he’s been at the thick of it ever since, helping companies roll out AI adoption and training at scale! 😲

In this episode he dives deep into all the uses (and risks) of AI in the AEC industry based on his own experience as the Innovation Advisor at AECOM and his current role at an accelerator for AEC-focused startups.

If you’ve been putting this whole AI thing on the back burner, you’re already getting behind. This episode is a must-listen to stay ahead of the curve with AI and construction tech. 👍
