Because a lot of your competitors are learning and running, and you better catch up,” says Mehdi Nourbakhsh, CEO at YegaTech. He tells us how we can accelerate uptake and find ways to use this emerging force for good by helping the industry reduce its environmental and climate impact.
Emma Viklund is Innovation Lead at Skanska Group:
“For me it is quite an experience seeing what AI is and how it can contribute to our old-fashioned industry. We have a great possibility to move quickly now, and the company that builds the strongest partnership and creates a good collaboration with customers and society is the one that is going to be successful.” Although the industry has taken longer than others to adopt AI, Emma examines how it is working hard to catch up and looks at areas where AI is already making a difference.
