Over the last several decades, Autodesk has driven innovation in every industry its software touches – pushing the boundaries of what’s possible across architecture, manufacturing, product design, content creation, and more.

Today Autodesk – along with Construction IQ, an artificial intelligence service that works with Autodesk’s BIM 360 – has been recognized by Fast Company in its annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies (MIC) for 2020. In February 2019, the manufacturing software giant Autodesk launched Construction IQ, a software program that can predict risks and dangers in construction projects. By analyzing data such as observations, checklists, subcontractor assignments, and historical data from across Autodesk’s construction management platform, Construction IQ can detect where a fatal injury might occur, or where a contractor may be wasting materials. The algorithm was trained using more than 150 million data points gleaned from nearly 30,000 real projects. We’re already seeing the success of Construction IQ in action. Now, nearly 400 customers use Construction IQ across approximately 5,000 active projects, and nearly 12,000 project leaders are leveraging Construction IQ to help them predict and prevent risks.
