▲ Usman Shuja , Bluebeam CEO acknowledges the need for transparent and unbiased data practices . According to him , “ ensuring that all AI tools are built on unbiased and balanced data is crucial , not just in construction but across various industries .” He therefore calls for industrywide collaboration to establish robust regulatory frameworks that safeguard against algorithmic biases and uphold ethical standards in AI development .
Customer-centric innovation
With these considerations in mind , Usman is determined to continue his commitment to customer-centric innovation and service to the construction sector . “ In 2022 , early 2023 , our company went through a major business transformation with our switch from perpetual licenses to a more modern subscription model , or SaaS . We focused on getting that right . Now that it ’ s running smoothly , it ’ s time to get back to a full focus on innovation , enhancing our product to create a delightful experience for our customers . We want to consistently deliver value and hear them say , ‘ let ’ s Bluebeam it !’ when it comes to mark-ups , collaboration and digital workflows . We want Bluebeam to be the brand synonymous with advanced construction technology across the industry .”
