AI in Architecture & Building Codes: Hiding in Plain Sight

Most of us are now familiar with AI chatbots, but AI tools are now being used to deliver many new functions and features throughout the architecture and building space. The International Code Council (ICC) has created several tools that use Large Language Model (LLM) AI to provide users with more capability when using building codes and standards. We also work with partners that are driving powerful, often unexpected, new features with AI.

Learning Objectives

  1. Discover the breadth of applications using Large Language Model AI on building codes and standards
  2. Understand how AI is applied to new products, and why “just plug it in” normally does not work
  3. Learn why AI “training” is important, and why specialized applications are growing
  4. Get practical tips for evaluating the quality of an AI tool
