AI Ethics in Construction: Building Responsibly

Episode notes

Artificial intelligence is transforming construction planning and scheduling - but are we ready for the ethical challenges that come with it? When AI makes billion-dollar decisions, who's accountable? How do we prevent bias? And what does responsible digital transformation actually look like? In this critical conversation, I sit down with Dr. Vijayeta Malla , a Program/Project Controls Professional with 17+ years managing $47B+ infrastructure programs including the Ontario Line Subway and Port of Oakland's E-PMO. As both a practitioner implementing AI on mega-projects and a researcher publishing groundbreaking work on AI applications in the AEC industry, Dr. Malla brings a rare dual perspective on this transformative technology. In this episode, we explore: The Reality Check - Where AI is actually working in construction planning vs. where it's still just hype, with real examples from billion-dollar transit projects ️ The Ethics Minefield - Who's responsible when AI makes scheduling decisions that affect billions in costs and thousands of jobs?
