Overview
This online event will explore the benefits of using AI to improve your projects.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significant potential in transforming the way civil engineering projects are designed, planned, and executed. One of the main roles of AI in civil engineering is to automate routine and repetitive tasks, such as project scheduling, cost estimation, and materials selection, thereby increasing productivity and efficiency. AI can also enhance the accuracy of predictions and simulations, enabling engineers to make better-informed decisions during the design and construction process. In addition, AI can assist in the monitoring and maintenance of critical infrastructure by analyzing data collected from sensors and cameras, identifying potential problems before they occur and reducing the risk of failure. Overall, AI is poised to revolutionize the field of civil engineering by enabling engineers to design and build infrastructure that is safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective.
The event is a must-attend for anyone looking to have a better understanding of the AI role in civil engineering.
MS Teams Link will be forwarded to all the registered attendees on Thursday, prior to the event.
Start time is 7pm GST (3pm GMT).
