Technology awareness of artificial intelligence (AI) application for risk analysis in construction projects. Malaysian Construction Research Journal: RISM International Research Conference 2020, 9 (1): 16. pp. 182-195. ISSN 2590-4140 (2020)
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting increased attention day-by-day owing to its ability to provide more accurate results in uncertain and complex environments. As such, many countries have already applied AI for risk analysis in construction projects. However, it is still relatively new and unknown for some and a lack of knowledge on the available risk management methods such as AI. This research, therefore, aims to determine the level of awareness of the Malaysian construction practitioners of using AI for risk analysis. A survey among 184 construction practitioners found that there are only a number of practitioners who know about AI and its usefulness for risk analysis in the Malaysian construction industry; most of the respondents have a lack of knowledge about AI, majority of them do not practice or use AI in their risk analysis tasks; a large portion do not attend any training on AI or taken some courses at universities; and finally most of the companies in the construction industry in Malaysia do not provide or provide little formal training on AI including follow-up programs. It can be concluded that applying AI for risk analysis still has a long way to go in order to be accepted and recognized in the Malaysian construction industry.
