AI Impact on Modern Engineering, the case of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge

The collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge has underscored the need for innovation in infrastructure projects. Traditional methods could take years to rebuild such structures, but AI and machine learning offer a transformative approach.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence into the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry represents a transformative shift, leveraging advanced technologies to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and creativity of building processes. AI and generative AI are impacting every stage of a project from conceptual design to facilities management.

While AI enhances efficiency and accuracy in engineering, it complements rather than replaces human expertise. The integration of AI promises a future of safer, faster, and more sustainable infrastructure development.
