Navigating the Legal Landscape of AI in AEC: What Design Tech Leaders Need to Know
Just two years ago, AI was more science fiction than reality—something to joke about after making dystopian references to movies like I, Robot. But with OpenAI's release of ChatGPT in 2022, interest in AI is at an all-time high as the technology rapidly reshapes industries from tech and law to healthcare and, yes, AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction).

There's an old saying: "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" and with AI-driven design tools like Snaptrude, generative automation software like TestFit, and sustainability tools like Cove.tool, it's clear that AI is profoundly impacting the AEC industry in more ways than just one.
