AI is changing the way we plan, design and build — and the conversation is just getting started.

The inaugural Texas A&M College of Architecture AI Symposium takes place Oct. 5–6, bringing together leaders from academia and industry to examine cutting-edge research and real-world applications of AI across planning, design and construction.

Over two days, attendees can take part in interactive workshops, panel discussions and networking opportunities designed to connect emerging research with industry practice.

Can virtual reality and AI help construction workers avoid accidents?

Dr. Namgyun Kim, assistant professor of construction science, is exploring how immersive virtual reality simulations and AI-powered research can help workers recognize hazards before accidents happen.

Read more about how his work is advancing construction safety and productivity through emerging technologies here:

A Texas A&M researcher is studying whether immersive simulations can help prevent workers from becoming desensitized to jobsite hazards.
