Artificial intelligence has dominated headlines, but for many in construction, the hype can feel far removed from the realities of project delivery. Some see AI as a game-changer for safety, scheduling and efficiency. Others worry about risks: unproven tools, data security or losing human judgment in critical decisions.
In this episode of Build Different, moderator Nicholas Johnson sits down with Kahua President, Brian Moore and AI strategist Hugh Seaton to explore the real-world implications of AI adoption in construction. Together, they’ll unpack:
Where AI can deliver meaningful value today versus what’s still “buzzword territory”
The risks of early adoption, from cost and compliance to accuracy and trust
How contractors, owners and program managers can prepare their organizations for AI without overcommitting too soon
The ethical and cultural shifts that come with relying on machines to support human decision-making
With construction facing tighter margins and rising complexity, the conversation will dig into what’s worth embracing now, what to approach cautiously and what the future might look like if the industry gets AI right.
