solution and it hasn’t been a quick solution

curating over time and still training it to
understand context and nuances and sound

JOHN BOKTOR: There is a sense of carefulness
around it, for sure, especially within our
company. We don’t want to take away from
the understanding of certain aspects of
construction. I think that’s where we are.
We’re partnering with a few large entities
to create an avenue around mundane tasks,
especially in our project teams. We’re not
saying, “You can’t go out there and use
ChatGPT.” The idea is that the control of
information on our end must be careful.
As an industry, we collect a lot of data. It’s
messy and a lot of it’s not good quality. I
think there is an opportunity to use AI for
the betterment of that data over time and
understanding how to better collect the
data.
