True or false: Construction is one of the industries least affected by advances in AI technology.
Surprisingly enough, it’s false. Data released today by Procore indicates that construction is fast becoming a hybrid of AI and hands-on work—making it a perfect fit for Gen Z.
“One of the biggest misconceptions about construction is that it is a low-tech field. That is far from the truth,” says Kris Lengieza, VP and Global Technology Evangelist at Procore. “The reality is that construction is at the cutting edge of AI, automation, and data-driven decision making.”
Gen Z—who are all about purpose in their work, technology to make it better and work-life balance to make it worthwhile—may find that a career in construction checks all their boxes, and then some.
“We are changing the narrative to highlight these advancements so young people see the industry for what it really is: a place where they can innovate, build lifelong, rewarding careers, and shape the future of the world around them,” says Lengieza.
