Why it matters
The adoption of AI and smart home technology in Tier 2 cities indicates a broader shift in consumer expectations and construction standards across India.
Futuristic and automated cleaners and remote surveillance systems are among the indicators of the growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in Tiruchi’s homes, organisers of the ARCHMAT 2026, a biennial exhibition of art and architectural products, have said.
“We have over 60 vendor stalls showcasing a large variety of AI and internet-enabled gadgets and infrastructure materials that show how advanced technology has become integral to the real estate sector in the past few years. AI-aided design and manufacturing has helped speed up the work on ground. Customers are expecting faster deliverables since AI has cut down many time-consuming processes,” S. Bala Hari Krishnan, convenor, ARCHMAT and executive committee member, Indian Institute of Architects (IIA), Tiruchi chapter, told The Hindu on Friday.
