What is Artificial Intelligence?

The theory & development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence.

  • Visual Perception

  • Speech Recognition

  • Decision-making

  • Translation Between Languages

Can Humans be Completely Replaced by AI & Robotics?

Artificial General Intelligence

Artificial Narrow Intelligence

It is programmed to perform a single task. 

It can perform any intellectual task that a human being can.

Self driving cars, Google home and ridesharing apps like Uber.

It can be seen in sci fi movies where humans interact with conscious machines.

Artificial intelligence has 2 sub-branches defining its role

ANI Classification

8 of 51

ROBOTICS

  • A branch of technology dealing with physical robots.

  • Interact with the physical world and are programmable

  • Carry out a defined sequence of instructions

  • Can be autonomous or semi- autonomous

  • Used to improve efficiency on repetitive tasks

9 of 51

Robotic Arm

Robotic Arm, which is a mechanical arm, usually programmable which perform the same function or similar to the human arm.

Traditional Robots

Controlled by Computer or Other kind of Stimulus.

Wearable Robotics

It assists movement when you lift or grasp heavy items.

Types Of Robots

ARTIFICIALLY

INTELLIGENT

Artificially intelligent robots are a bridge between AI and Robotics. These Robots are controlled by AI Programs.

ROBOTS

  • Warehouse Robots use pathfinding algorithm

  • Drones use autonomous navigation

  • Track routings for MEP Systems.

11 of 51

IN CONSTRUCTION

  • Unlike other industries, there is a relatively nascent use of AI in construction.

  • This is due to the fact that any non-precisely understood development of system cannot be brought down to instructions and therefore, never be actively modelled.

  • CPM, PERT and MNP networks are the first examples of artificial intelligence used in construction.

12 of 51

Robotics in Construction

There are a few different types of construction robots that are poised to break into the construction market at a mass scale.

  • 3D Printing Robots

  • Collaborative robots or Cobots

  • Demolition Robots

  • On-site Construction Robots

  • Automated Track Loaders

AI in Pre-Construction phase

  • Project Planning:
    • Prediction of cost overruns.
    • Based on factors like :
      • Project size

      • Contract Type

      • Competence level of the PM, team

19 of 51

AI in Pre-Construction phase

Better Risk Mitigation:

Natural Language Processing - AI powered self learning technique. It can be used to analyse and continuously improve:

  • Contracts
  • Tendering process
  • Cost Modelling

20 of 51

AI during Construction phase

Using AI during construction mainly for Site Risk Mitigation involving

  • Quality Assurance
  • Safety
  • Time
  • Cost risks.

Project Scheduling Optimization

21 of 51

AI during Construction phase

  • Video Based Analysis:
    • Labor Safety
    • Productivity
    • Equipment tracking
    • Material tracking

AI powered on site clash detection systems

23 of 51

AI Post Construction phase

  • Building managers can use AI long after the construction of a building is complete.

  • Building information modeling, or BIM, stores information about the structure of the building.

AI can be used to monitor developing problems and even offers solutions to prevent problems.

AI & Robotics

  • AI - Catalyst for growth, productivity and precision
  • AI - Important for Safety & Health

  • Robotics - Improved efficiency, inspections
  • Robotics - Dangerous task reduction
  • Robotics - Autonomation required

Human Skills

Require critical thinking & Intelligence

Quantitative Reasoning skills

Physical & Repetitive activities in highly structured and predictable settings.

Process-oriented skills

Require social abilities & Creativity

Functional skills

43 of 51

Process-oriented skills

01

02

Over the next two decades, more than 80% of process-oriented tasks will be done by AI systems.

Machines have more productivity, are more precise and unfazed by circumstances.

Human jobs will shift from actually doing the work to monitoring and troubleshooting robots.

03

44 of 51

Quantitative Reasoning skills

  • These tasks will be done approx. 50% by humans and 50% by machines.

  • Humans and machines will collaborate flawlessly where machines will carry out “easier tasks” and humans will provide “critical thinking and judgement
  • Human-machine collaboration will create a larger number of new jobs:

-AI interaction designers

-Simplicity consultants

-Wellbeing coaches

-Analytic HRs

45 of 51

Functional

Skills

-By automating process-oriented and quantitative skills, AI will push the skillset ladder to functional skills

-This will enhance creativity and social abilities. These are the qualities which make us UNIQUELY HUMAN.

AI will make workplace more human
