Deconstructing AI and Scaling Up Innovation
 | | | Tuesday, June 3 | OPENING KEYNOTE Deconstructing AI to Improve Construction AI can benefit construction in many ways, and it doesn't have to come at the expense of people and careers, says Jad Chalhoub, of Rosendin Electric. This presentation will get into the hype, versus the reality of AI, with examples from other industries further along in putting it to work to show what's coming next for construction. The speakers will give examples of where and how Rosendin has chosen to employ AI, and where it has decided not to. This presentation takes aim at the evolving issues of implementing AI in construction, to help FutureTech attendees plan their own strategic implementation paths. Jad Chalhoub, Director of Business Analytics, Rosendin Electric Fred Meeske, Senior Vice President of Tech & Analytics, Rosendin Electric PANEL Scaling Up for Construction Tech Innovation The Bouygues Construction Group designs, builds and renovates buildings and infrastructure in 60 countries. It generated about $30 billion from construction in 2023, but its leaders know that continued success requires a pipeline of site-ready tech innovations. With the goal of speeding technology adoption in the industry, the company's Venture & Technology division has launched what it hopes will be an easier, faster and more effective way to test new solutions in real construction scenarios, without hindering worksites. It is building “ScaleOne,” an industrial-scale tech development and test center outside of Paris to host innovators and give them full-scale workspaces, equipment and construction site simulations to realistically challenge their wares. ScaleOne will be a multi-partner facility, open to the entire industry, with the goal of helping innovations mature more rapidly by bringing together all the players involved, including start-ups, academic centers, suppliers and field operators — to raise the tide of construction innovation and lift all boats. Halter will brief us on the progress and panelists will weigh in on the question of whether construction company-sponsored centers like this ought to be a model to scale up, standardize and proliferate.
