The field of construction will be one of the latest to benefit from the enormous potential offered by artificial intelligence (AI), which is a field concerned with computers and machines that can “learn” and act in ways that typically need human input, or analyse data on a scale that exceeds human capability.

According to Upmetrics, the global construction industry in 2023 weighed in at US$12.74 trillion (RM54.7 trillion), with more than 738,000 players as of 2020.
