Revolutionizing the AEC Industry with AI: Insights from Dr. Sam Zolfagharian

Revolutionizing the AEC Industry with AI: Insights from Dr. Sam Zolfagharian

“Artificial Intelligence” gets all the buzz today. 🤖 Lots of things it could be used for, and lots of options out there. The problem? 🤔 According to Dr. Sam Zolfagharian, most AEC leaders try to implement it the wrong way! 🚨

Dr. Sam is the co-founder and president of YegaTech, an AI consulting firm focusing on helping AEC firms and executives plan and execute their AI strategy to scale their business.

After years of experience as a Structural Engineer herself, she saw firsthand all the tasks that could be sped up with the help of technology…and how little AEC leaders understand what’s really at their disposal when it comes to AI. 🤯

(In case you’re wondering, it’s not simply looking at what AI tools are out there and picking a few to “give it a try.)

In this episode, Dr. Sam dives into how AI will shape the future of work in the AEC industry for companies, how future AEC professionals (civil engineers included!) will need to adapt…all the way to YegaTech’s AI Innovation Framework for firms to scale with the help of AI.

This framework is now already being used to develop AI strategies and AI governance across multiple AEC companies, and Dr. Sam teaches it in this very episode. Go check it out! 🎧
