Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to perform tasks related to construction projects, including structural calculations, cost estimates, schedules, code compliance checks, and various other functions. Yet none of the industry’s standard contract templates contain provisions prescribing responsible use of AI or allocating potential liability that could result from its use. In addition, many property and casualty insurers have issued standardized AI exclusions that became effective in policies renewing on or after January 1, 2026. Therefore, it is advisable to include language in construction contracts that targets the use of artificial intelligence. Construction attorney Greg Parsons takes a look at this issue in this Stites & Harbison Client Alert.

Mary Lu Noah takes a look at those questions in this Stites & Harbison Client Alert.
