Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a symbol of futuristic technological development since the mid-1950s but for the vast majority of that time it has been limited to the imaginations and research of academics and science fiction writers. In the last 10-years, however, our increasing computational capabilities have begun to lay the foundations for practical applications of AI technology in the real world. In our commercial facilities, numerous new use cases for AI have arisen to drive hype and early adoption towards this revolutionary technological shift… but how far are we really from AI-enabled smart buildings? “AI is now starting to deliver on its long-promised potential and its benefits for businesses are becoming a reality, proving its value and becoming increasingly embedded into day-to-day processes and solutions,” states our recent report – AI & Machine Learning in Smart Commercial Buildings.
