In Summer 2023, a billboard ad was wrapped around a construction site in Antwerp, Belgium. “Hey ChatGPT,” it read, “Finish this building…”
The ad – which went viral and notched up thousands of approving comments – continued: “AI can do a lot… but it can’t finish this building… fix a leak or install a heating system. Crafts(wo)men are here to stay.”
In infrastructure, as in all sectors, new technologies promise to shake-up traditional ways of working. Generative artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins and digital asset management tools will ultimately transform how we design, build and maintain our critical assets.
