Abstract

Construction safety is the cornerstone of ensuring the safety of people's lives and property. With the continuous development of the city, the number of large-scale engineering projects is increasing, and the complexity of the engineering construction environment is becoming increasingly prominent. In response to this problem, this paper systematically analyses the actual value of artificial intelligence in predicting and supervising building safety, including using machine learning algorithms to identify hidden dangers and monitoring violations in real time through computer vision. On this basis, this paper constructs an intelligent safety management system with a "human-machine" collaborative community, emphasizing the complementary integration of manual experience and intelligent technology. At the same time, this article points out the main problems facing the current stage. Finally, the prospects of future technological innovation are prospected, including the combination of digital twins, edge computing and 5G technology to promote the development of building safety management in a smarter, more accurate and more proactive direction, so as to more effectively ensure the safety of personnel and property on the construction site.
