The integration and impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing (CC) technology in the construction industry (CI) would support their implementation process and adoption. However, there is a lack of research in the extant literature, and recent advances in this field have not been explored. As such, the key research question focuses on the extent of existing literature, main research hotspots, and recent advances (i.e., research gaps and future directions) in AI in CC in the CI. To address this research question, this study aims to conduct a state-of-the-art review of AI in CC in the CI by providing a qualitative discussion of the main research hotspots, research gaps, and future research directions. This review study used a four-step bibliometric-systematic review approach consisting of literature search, literature screening, science mapping analysis, and qualitative dis-cussion. The results found four main research hotspots, namely (1) construction project performance indicators, (2) data analysis and visualization, (3) construction quality control and safety, and (4) construction energy efficiency. These findings would provide valuable insights for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand and integrate AI and CC technology applications in the CI. This review study will lay a better foundation for future developments in construction project management processes, data-sharing protocols, real-time safety monitoring, and ethical implications of AI and CC technologies.

Galloping of iced transmission lines under complex microclimates poses a severe threat to power grid security, whereas traditional full-span de-icing strategies suffer from excessive energy redundancy and limited spatial precision. To address the spatial uncertainty of actual ice accretion, a three-dimensional nonlinear aeroelastic finite element model is established by considering geometric nonlinearity and eccentric ice-induced added stiffness. A state-space Monte Carlo framework is then used to evaluate the galloping probability under different wind speed regimes and spatially non-uniform ice distributions. The results reveal a distinct non-monotonic instability characteristic: the galloping probability decreases to 33.0% at 8.0 m/s, forming a clear probability trough and indicating an aerodynamic self-stabilization effect associated with the shift in the baseline effective angle of attack. To map spatial ice heterogeneity to global dynamic instability, a galloping sensitivity index (GSI) based on the Spearman rank correlation coefficient is proposed to identify the dominant sensitive sections responsible for inducing galloping-prone responses. Based on this index, a GSI-guided targeted ultrasonic de-icing decision strategy is constructed. Under the assumption of identical rated power for each section, the proposed strategy activates only 40% of the physical sections and reduces the number of activated sections, as well as the associated operational energy demand, by 60% compared with the full-span de-icing strategy. This framework provides a quantitative basis for linking stochastic ice distribution, galloping probability evaluation, and energy-efficient targeted de-icing decisions.
