AI, AR and 5G wireless will change construction industry forever: Hainsworth - constructconnect.com - Daily Commercial News

What are the foundational technologies today on which we are building tomorrow? That was the question Michael Hainsworth, executive producer of Futurithmic, co-host of the Geeks & Beats podcast and former BNN senior anchor and CTV news reporter, asked the audience at a talk billed Future Forward: Three Technologies That Will Change Our World Forever. The presentation was part of the CanaData construction forecasts conference held recently in Toronto. "You look at 5G wireless, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), these are going to be three key technologies for your industry not for the next 10 years, not for the next 20 years, this is the future forever," explained Hainsworth. "These fundamental technologies are going to give us things that today we can't even predict."
