Get support to effectively, responsibly, and legally use AI in transportation construction workflows. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, September 24, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will introduce practical AI concepts for transportation construction management including generative AI, large language models, machine learning, and human-in-the-loop decision-making. Presenters will discuss what AI can and cannot do, how professional responsibility is maintained, and how owners, consultants, contractors, and technology providers can approach AI adoption without overreliance or misuse. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to begin evaluating AI in their own construction management context.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Integrated Management of Construction.
