Artificial intelligence in the construction sector: how can it improve talent management

The construction industry is continually challenged due to the skills deficit throughout the sector. This is currently impacting numerous projects throughout the UK including the housing programme, HS2 and significant infrastructure upgrades. There is a reluctance to change to new and improved methods within the sector, however, Industry 4.0 technologies are essential to the built environment and offers improvements in many areas of the workplace. This paper discusses the benefits of artificial intelligence in the sector and the requirements for investment by the UK Government and businesses throughout the construction industry.
