AI Is Learning to Predict Which Bridges Need Fixing Before It’s Too Late

2:39Leah SternHOST
So for people that don't understand how it works and how AI has gotten involved, how was these large structures originally looked at, inspected, kept safe before AI came along?

2:56Saar DickmanGUEST
For decades, as a result of good regulations, the owners of the structure, the bridge, the culverts, the panels are paying inspection engineers and going out there to capture the actual condition of the infrastructure.

The reason for that, that you continuously need to monitor the infrastructure to eventually manage risk and moving dollars to the right places.

So the information is out there a lot of information think about Those 75 to 100 years, cameras, people repelling from bridge, crawling under tunnel just to take the right picture of what's the actual condition of the infrastructure.

I'm also curious to understand how the influx of data centers across the U.S. may be affected or benefit from the work that you're doing.
