Abstract

In recent years, the statistics on the construction industry show an important growth that we must take into account, in the same way technology does its thing with the creation of artificial intelligence, that is, the creation of systems and machines that play a role. important by improving performance, optimizing work and time to different areas of work in construction, without neglecting the training required for the use of said technology. In this document, the objective is to investigate and obtain a systematic understanding of the importance, challenges and solutions offered by artificial intelligence in the world of construction, for which a review of 86 duly indexed articles from the last 7 years was carried out between 2015 and 2021, which are divided as follows: 39 from ScienceDirect, 24 from ESCOPUS and 23 from EBSCO, documents in which they point out the importance of artificial intelligence and the construction industry working, giving good results as soon as it advances, safety, quality and performance in the works, so it can be concluded that the implementation of technology in construction is a potentially viable alternative.
