Jane Kutepova has written a smart and timely article in Area Development breaking down a question the construction industry can no longer afford to ignore: Who’s liable when AI starts making the decisions? As Jane explains, AI is now embedded in design, scheduling, safety, and equipment operation, yet most construction contracts still don’t account for it. That gap creates real exposure when algorithms go wrong, from faulty generative design outputs to missed hazards on busy jobsites. Jane’s thought leadership lays out the emerging risks and why it’s time for owners, contractors, and suppliers to rethink their agreements and address the rise of the AI clause. A terrific read on a fast-moving issue at the intersection of technology, risk, and the built environment.
