Abstract
A digital shift and transformation have arrived in the construction industry with the sole purpose
of increasing efficiency, raising the production rate and changing sustainability level. This paper
seeks to find out how the construction industry can fully close the gap between potential and
harvested benefits associated with artificial intelligence. This research suggests that it is indeed
possible to gain experience from the implementation of digital tools when implementing artificial
intelligence. However, it is essential to note that when it comes to artificial intelligence, human-
artificial intelligence trust is a very crucial factor as far as the success of implementation is
concerned.
Literature review
According to Seshia, Sadigh, Sastry, (2016 p.40), the construction industry is transforming
digital and more autonomous construction. Evidence shows that a digital shift is taking place,
and the change is happening fast that the industry is struggling to keep up. According to the
article, the construction industry is claimed to be undigitized, something that has been indicated
by low productivity as far as development is concerned when compared to other sectors.
However, upon implementation of digitization, it is expected that efficiency increases as well.
With artificial intelligence in the realm, stakeholders in this particular industry must take
advantage of and incorporate AI in the construction process.
According to Luxton, (2016 p.60) implementing change is a somewhat hectic process, and as
such, through time, commitment to the process may be severely damaged when the right
measures are not put into place. Artificial intelligence is regarded as the unique ability of a
