The exponential pace of development within artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the tech ecosystem, and the planet at large, by storm. Just this year alone breakthrough advances in machine learning infrastructure, vector databases, natural language processing, and generative AI have created a new technological paradigm shift: the AI supercycle.

The following case study provides insight into Blackhorn’s strategy for addressing prefabrication’s sustainability challenges so it can be successfully integrated into the construction industry.
