With increased availability of automated AI development tools and best practices of bringing AI to production, organizations are driving business performance, governmental operations and regulations, and social good with expanded use of AI. In particular, there is a global interest in applying AI for making our world a safer place. Through AI-powered prediction, optimization and automation, we can help mitigate physical and cyber threats and risks. For example, AI and machine learning can help in the following ways:
· Predict potential construction risks and hazardous conditions
· Develop contextual intelligence to share with public
· Anticipate weather events and disasters for increased readiness
· Reduce site accidents, theft, and vandalism
· Optimize scheduling and allocations of resource and match supply and demand
· Assess risk and needs and deliver solutions to communities in need
AI is also a crucial skill for us to acquire and improve. It is an opportune time for us to build AI skills and make a positive impact on the world. You can use the latest cloud and AI technologies to translate your ideas into action.
