About this episode
Peggy digs into agentic AI (artificial intelligence) and its transformative potential for the construction industry. She explores how this next evolution of AI—capable of autonomous reasoning and decision-making—can address some of the industry's most pressing challenges from labor shortages to supply-chain complexity.
She also discusses:
- The staggering growth forecast of the agentic AI market.
- Why small and midsized construction firms are still hesitant to adopt AI—and what the data says about this trend.
- Use cases where agentic AI can make a difference, including project scheduling, supply chain coordination, and worksite safety.
