Survey finds 90% of construction pros see AI as vital in 5 years, but only 8% currently use it due to lack of training.

A DEWALT survey reveals a gap in AI adoption in construction: 90% of professionals believe AI will be indispensable within five years, yet only 8% currently use it on the job. The main barrier is a lack of formal, practical AI training, with 87% advocating for AI education in trade schools. DEWALT is addressing this by launching a pilot AI training program and providing grants to support hands-on AI learning, aiming to equip workers with skills to boost productivity and adapt to evolving jobsite technologies.
