Abstract: Digitization has become a powerful tool for digital planning, construction, and operations with high potential for improved project life cycle. The study discusses digitization and AI from an ethical perspective. After an introduction on the relation of moral and technology and the evaluation of corporate responsibilities in digital environments, the study leads to fields of using AI with developers' and users' ethical responsibilities. The scientific approach examines challenges and potential of human led technologies undergoing digital transformation. The construction industry is challenged by CDR in an era of increasing artificial intelligence (AI) application. As a result of the high demand in both technological development and value-based decision making, CDR in construction examines holistically responsible digitization and AI. It reviews status quo and its ethical framework by law. A key consideration in the ethical impact on AI is differing between human and artificial intelligence as mandatory requirement to define risks, potential, areas of application.
