How will roles in construction change in the age of AI, and what new roles will emerge?

In this Turkish‑language podcast, Cem Kafadar and Haluk discuss how artificial intelligence will reshape the construction industry. They argue that AI will not eliminate engineers but will change the nature of many existing positions—project managers will need data‑literacy and early‑warning capabilities, planners will become dynamic scenario managers, cost controllers will evolve into predictive cost analysts, BIM specialists will turn into digital‑twin managers, and safety officers will become data‑driven risk analysts. New roles will appear, such as data stewards/engineers responsible for data quality, AI process designers who decide which construction processes are AI‑augmented, AI verification specialists who guard against AI hallucinations, and technology coordinators who ensure sensors, drones, and connectivity work on site. The hosts also describe how they use AI themselves—crafting detailed prompts, generating a “Digital Brick” GPT, and employing AI bots in WhatsApp groups to monitor site progress. They stress the importance of up‑skilling, prompt engineering, and human oversight, warning about AI hallucinations, data‑quality issues, and ethical‑security concerns. The conversation ends with a call for a hybrid human‑AI workflow where AI accelerates information flow and decision‑making, while humans retain ultimate responsibility and strategic judgment.
