All people interested in Digitization and AI in the Construction Industry, Companies and Education,

The Author
With the desire for more courage Bianca Weber-Lewerenz, Civil Engineer, wants to increase the awareness by deepening knowledge and to reach a fundamental reorientation of the Construction Industry. Knowledge creates trust, fears create prejudices. Especially from the building trade, where a lot of strength, self-confidence and potential lie, one expects this courage.
She has been following the technological development and the culture of values in Construction since becoming the 1st female bricklayer in Baden-Württemberg. She shows ethically aligned ways for a successful, sustainable digital transformation.
With the "Excellence initiative for Sustainable, Human-Led AI in Construction" founded in 2020 she brings the Construction Industry into the general debate on a trustworthy, sustainable AI. For her research she cooperates with the INaB at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, RWTH Aachen University.
