The GeoBuiz Summit 2026 plenary highlighted how AI, automation, and digital twins are reshaping the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector from discrete projects to continuous, data‑driven infrastructure management. Panelists from Nvidia, Dynamic Map Platform, and Bentley Systems demonstrated how physics‑based simulation, high‑fidelity reality capture, and AI analytics enable predictive planning and lifecycle optimization. The discussion emphasized the convergence of photorealistic digital twin platforms with synthetic data generation to drive intelligent automation across design, construction, and operations. Open standards and interoperable data were identified as critical enablers for this transformation.
