Speech Title: An Artificial Intelligence-Driven Intelligent Information System for Construction Risk Prediction and Project Performance Decision Support

 

Abstract: The increasing complexity of construction projects generates substantial volumes of heterogeneous information related to project schedules, costs, resources, site conditions, and risk events. Although project teams collect substantial amounts of information throughout the construction process, this information is often scattered across different systems and is not fully utilised to anticipate potential risks. Traditional risk management approaches also tend to depend heavily on expert judgement and past experience, making it difficult to identify emerging problems before they significantly affect project outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an opportunity to address these challenges by analysing project data, identifying risk patterns, and supporting more informed decision-making. This study proposes an AI-driven intelligent information system that integrates construction risk prediction with project performance management. The proposed system aims to bring together relevant project information, including historical records, cost and schedule data, and identified risk factors, to assess potential threats and their implications for project performance. Machine learning techniques will be considered to identify patterns in project data and predict possible delays, cost overruns, and performance deviations. The system will also incorporate explainable AI to help project managers understand the factors influencing predictions and assess the reliability of the generated insights. Rather than replacing professional judgement, the system is intended to complement the experience of construction professionals by providing timely, data-informed insights for risk assessment and mitigation planning. Particular attention will be given to data quality, the interpretability of AI outputs, and the reliability of the proposed approach. By connecting AI-based prediction with practical project management needs, this study aims to establish a foundation for more proactive and intelligent construction risk management. The proposed framework contributes to the application of AI and intelligent information systems in the construction sector, with future empirical evaluation needed to assess its predictive performance and practical value.
