Potentials of artificial intelligence in construction management

Sažetak
rtificial intelligence (AI) approaches have been
developed since the upcoming of Information Technologies beginning in the 1950s. With rising computing power,
the discussion of AI usefulness has been refuelled by new
powerful algorithms and, in particular, the availability of
the internet as a vast resource of unstructured data.
This gives hope to construction management in particular,
since construction projects are recently becoming larger
and more complex, i.e. encompassing more and more participants focusing on diverging interests while the given
frames of time and budget are getting tighter. Finally,
construction management is used to establish an efficient
organisation of all these issues and able to predict the
result with a high degree of precision and certainty.
This could be accomplished by the human mind when
projects were smaller, but with the recent development
human mind is clearly pushed to its limits. On this background, the possible support of AI to organisational tasks
needs to be investigated on a theoretical level prior to
developing tools. This paper is the extended version of the
article ‘Artificial Intelligence in Construction Management –
a Perspective’, presented at the Creative Construction Conference 2019 where the algorithmic and entropic scope of
AI is investigated in the context of construction management. However, efficient organisation is about restructuring systems into a set of well-separated subsystems,
where human intelligence is required to bring in mainly
two higher principles which AI fails to provide: the ability
to prioritise and creativity allowing for new approaches
not derived from given data.
This paper additionally focuses on the aspect of in-situ
coordination. This service is an aspect of organisation
which is not separable and can therefore only be treated
as self-determined subsystem, located outside of hierarchical control. At this point algorithms of AI need to be
investigated not so much as to substitute human mind but
to provide significant support
