AI is no longer the future of AEC—it’s happening now. 🚧🤖
At SLC3’s “AI Adoption in AEC: Crawl. Walk. Run.” program, industry leaders explored how firms can move from experimentation to real-world impact.
💡 Key takeaways:
-Start small → test → scale with intention
From data security to contracts and workflows, AI is reshaping how we design, build, and deliver projects. The question isn’t if you adopt AI—it’s how prepared you are.
-Ask AI how to ask how
If one tool is not producing the right result, ask another how to communicate what you are asking.
-Try asking multiple AI platforms to verify data
Honestly so many things learned...just need to continue to work with them! Thank you to our speakers: Taryn Pulliam Rion Kolosieke Mark Flannery Matthew Jeans Tim Morrell
