AI could speed up construction on building sites Dong Wenjie/Getty
You’ve heard of ground-breaking algorithms – what about algorithms breaking ground? A new AI system that can plan the construction of buildings is being piloted on several projects in the US, with the hope that it will speed up the process.
Alice Technologies is the Californian firm behind the technology. Their system is able to digest a 3D model of a proposed building and spit out a detailed schedule for how it should be constructed. This includes specifying in what order particular structures need to be fitted together during the…
