The CIOB digital and innovation advisory panel has highlighted the transformative potential of AI for the construction sector. The AI Playbook 2024 provides a detailed roadmap for built environment organisations seeking to maximise the benefits of AI technology. Key features of the playbook include:

• Evaluating AI Effectiveness: The guide offers methodologies to assess the impact and effectiveness of AI tools and solutions in various construction processes.
• Ethics, Cyber Security, and Data Protection: Addressing crucial aspects such as ethical considerations, cyber security, and data protection, the playbook ensures that companies can implement AI responsibly and securely.
• Checklist for AI Implementation: A practical checklist supports new entrants, early adopters, and experienced AI practitioners in making informed decisions about integrating AI into their operations.

One of the primary objectives of the AI Playbook 2024 is to empower SMEs to compete on a larger scale. By harnessing AI, these smaller companies can access advanced capabilities that were previously the domain of large construction organisations. This democratisation of technology allows SMEs to improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance project management.

The release of the AI Playbook is a pivotal moment for the construction industry, signaling a shift towards more tech-savvy and data-driven practices. By adopting AI, companies can streamline operations, predict and mitigate risks, and deliver projects more efficiently. The guide serves as a valuable resource for navigating this transformation, ensuring that all industry players can benefit from AI advancements.
