Abstract
Artificial intelligence is software based; megaprojects are large physical infrastructures. We use exploratory research in understanding the merger of both by asking what artificially intelligent, sustainable, and resilient megaprojects are and what their underlying theory is. Thus, the goal of the paper is to define an artificially intelligent megaproject and identify its theory. To do so, we conducted a literature review on the two different topics and exemplified current mergers of AI and megaprojects through two cases. We propose a definition for artificially intelligent megaprojects and suggest consequentially an embedded new theory we call scAInce. We suggest that scAInce is a new research field, that explores the influences and impacts of artificial intelligence on our world. We conceptualize how AI megaprojects as virtual AI futures might enable sustainability in our built environment. It ends with contributing a definition of what artificially intelligent megaprojects are.
