Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence has entered into many fields, especially difficult and complex ones. It has also entered into the field of construction projects in countries around the world in several matters, but this has not been done in construction projects in Iraq. These projects are in dire need of this use because of the problems and difficulties that they have been suffering from during the various stages of the construction project life, for several reasons. The benefits of using artificial intelligence in construction projects have been demonstrated through previous research. The problems that construction projects in Iraq suffer from in the various stages of the project have been explained. Although artificial intelligence will be useful in solving these problems, there are reasons that hinder its use. To find out these reasons, it has been organizing a questionnaire for a number of experts in this field to explain these reasons. Seven reasons have been identified with experts that hinder the use of artificial intelligence. Through the analysis of the questionnaire it was found that the most important of which was the lack of awareness and lack of knowledge of the benefits and advantages of this use. It was concluded that there are five basic points for these seven
