CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE IMPACT OF WORLD WARS, TRADE WARS, AND TECHNOLOGICAL WARS

Abstract

The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in construction project management faces various challenges influenced by external factors such as trade wars, technological warfare, and global geopolitics. With the rapid development of AI technology in recent years, the construction sector has begun to adopt this technology to enhance project efficiency and quality. However, despite the benefits that AI offers, the construction industry still faces technical, regulatory, and political barriers that need to be addressed for optimal implementation. This study aims to identify and analyze these challenges through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The main focus of this research is to explore how trade wars and technological warfare influence the adoption and development of AI in construction project management. Additionally, the study examines the impact of global policy shifts triggered by world wars on technological innovation and the application of AI in the construction sector. Through this research, a deeper understanding of how geopolitical tensions and global technological competition affect AI adoption in the construction industry is expected to be gained. The findings are also expected to provide practical recommendations for mitigating the challenges faced, enabling the construction sector to fully leverage AI's potential.
