Why AI Is Failing in AEC — and What Comes Next
Despite the surge of “AI-powered” tools across AEC, the industry remains at the very beginning of its adoption curve. Most solutions are bolting AI onto workflows and platforms never designed for it—resulting in systems that cannot reason, scale, or withstand real project complexity.
This session takes a clear position: AI must be native to the design and decision process itself—not added after the fact.
Drawing on real enterprise deployments, Michael Jansen and Dr. Prasanta Bose will explore how AI-native systems move beyond automation into true decision intelligence—reasoning across cost, carbon, energy, compliance, constructability, et al., to guide better outcomes, not just faster outputs.
The discussion will challenge prevailing narratives around generative design and “AI everywhere,” offering a practical framework for understanding what works, what doesn’t, and what AEC firms should be preparing for over the next 3–5 years.
This is not about replacing architects and engineers. It’s about finally delivering the intelligence layer the industry has been missing.
