Peggy digs into agentic AI (artificial intelligence) and its transformative potential for the construction industry. She explores how this next evolution of AI—capable of autonomous reasoning and decision-making—can address some of the industry’s most pressing challenges from labor shortages to supply-chain complexity.
She also discusses:
- The staggering growth forecast of the agentic AI market.
- Why small and midsized construction firms are still hesitant to adopt AI—and what the data says about this trend.
- Use cases where agentic AI can make a difference, including project scheduling, supply chain coordination, and worksite safety.
