Research:
Intelligent personal assistant can be defined as the assistance which is associated with
exhibiting the own intelligence by making use of algorithms in order to solve the problems.
Making use of robotics and other intelligent devices the construction managers are capable of
utilizing the intelligent machines which are associated with performing routine tasks which are
previously done by human beings. Additionally the AI are also capable of collate and organize
the information for the engineers as well in order to use then within the project as well as in the
designing process. The process by which the artificial intelligence is being used in the
construction industry can be classified into four different key areas. This four segments mainly
includes the “use of equipment’s”, “The importance of administrative roles”, “Artificial
intelligence advice”, and “The use of artificial intelligence inside a structure”. The construction
plans can become successful whenever an AI is successfully used. The various AI include the
Autonomous equipment’s which are capable of navigating the whole process without any type of
human involvement. At the planning stage of a project the AI assistant is generally associated
with serving a construction which has been proposed along with the gathering of the enough
information for the creation of 3D maps or blueprints and construction plans.
Brainstorming:
The potential impacts that the Intelligent personal assistant is having over the construction
industry has been discussed below:
1. Artificial intelligence are associated with alerts to the personnel’s who are associated
with safety and various processes of the project. Whenever a situation arises then the

assistance would be associated with sending an alert of delay or safety to the respective
professionals who are in charge of the respective field.
2. Safety sensors are used for the using the energy in an efficient way. This sensors are
associated with automating the jobsites in order to make the jobsites safer. Various
sensors are used like the Spot-r Identify the location of the workers and provides alerts
whenever a worker slips or falls.
3. The Intelligent personal assistant has been used in other fields as well which helps in
working in an efficient way along with helping them in ensuring the safety of the workers
as well. Various other fields like the medical field, industrial fields and many other
industries has been associated with helping them a lot.
4. Internet of things along with the artificial intelligence has a very strong impact over the
construction industry.
