Abstract

Introduction: This paper relates a research with the objective of establishing the levels of appropriation of emerging technologies, mainly artificial intelligence, in project management in the construction sector. Methodology: Quantitative research was carried out focused on a review of international literature and the determination of the level of technological maturity in project management in the sector in Colombia. A total of 97 companies participated. Results: The results show a high interest of the productive sector and the academic community in the use of artificial intelligence in project management, prioritizing areas such as costs, quality, time, scope and risks. The incorporation of software with AI, LLM (Large Language Models) and big data processing are prioritized. Discussion: The results are consistent with a topic of increasing interest in the academic community. The concepts are being widely developed internationally and consolidation is projected in Colombia. Conclusions: The construction sector in Colombia has an important path in the incorporation of emerging technologies (artificial intelligence), however there is interest and willingness to do so and apply them in their different project life cycles.
