S6E146: AI in Infrastructure and how it is going to change our cities with Rita Arrigo - a podcast by Val Matthews & Dale Foong

In this week’s pod, we welcomed Rita Arrigo to discuss AI in Infrastructure and how it is going to change our cities.As a natural storyteller excited by the opportunities the tech world brings, Rita can translate complex technical ideas across the ‘IT divide’ to those less tech-minded, an enthusiastic advocate and sought-after speaker for many years on all thing's innovation and digital.The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:

• AI, Machine Learning and Spatial Computing are moving at a fast pace


• Most construction projects are using paper based documents on site despite the prevalence of digital technology


• There is not enough diversity in engineering which has led to a lack of challenging the status quo which is stifling disruption


• Digital Twin seeks to connect the past and predict the future


• AI can be used by governments to help them monitor and achieve COP 26/27 commitments


• Maturing of toolsets will give us higher capability and reduce the workload


• CEO’s now need to understand the digital technology their company provides rather than simply relying on the technical experts


• AI will never replace human interactions


• Blockchain help accelerate investment cycles for companies


• People always need visualizations – AI will support and enable this


• Technology will change the way we collect and store information on projects which will make the traditional “filing” system redundant


• We don’t perceive the world, we only see what we perceive
