Unlocking AI’s Potential: New PMI Course Shows How AI Can Help Solve Construction’s $1 Trillion Problem
The three-hour course explores AI’s impact on infrastructure and project management
6 March 2025
Philadelphia, PA
Today, Project Management Institute (PMI), the leading authority in project management, released its fifth online AI course titled “AI in Infrastructure and Construction Projects”. Historically, PMI data has reported that roughly 10 percent of project investment is wasted due to poor project performance. With a global construction market projected to reach approximately $17.05 trillion this year, poor project performance—like going over time or over budget—could cost more than $1 trillion. Yet countless research has found that integrating AI can lead to productivity gains and cost reductions.
The three-hour course provides real-world examples from three leading construction organizations, on-site demonstrations and expert insights about AI applications in the construction industry. It equips construction project managers, AI professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of AI and infrastructure, with:
- Real-World Insights: Get an inside look at AI in action through site visits to leading construction organizations, Ontario Power Generation and Burns and McDonnell, that showcase proven, practical applications.
- Comprehensive Expertise: Learn how top construction firms incorporate AI into project planning, risk assessment, RFP process, scheduling, and more.
- Future-Ready Skills: Learn how to incorporate AI to increase project success and to enhance safety, efficiency, speed, and quality.
“This course is a game-changer for construction project managers looking to better integrate AI into their processes,” said Ben Breen, Global Director Construction and VP APAC at Project Management Institute. “By showcasing real-world applications, we are not only demonstrating AI’s immense potential but also equipping learners with the knowledge and confidence to implement AI effectively and remain ahead in the industry.”
Combining expertise from project management, construction, and artificial intelligence, this course provides an essential roadmap for professionals looking to harness AI’s full potential in their field.
The course is offered for free to PMI® Members and $19 USD for non-members. Enroll now to earn 3 PDUs (1 Ways of Working, 1 Business Acumen, 1 Power Skills) and learn how top construction organizations are leveraging cutting-edge AI strategies.
