AI in AEC 2022 - RIL - Finnish Association of Civil Engineers
The high interest towards the first truly global Artificial Intelligence conference in Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry in 2021 gave the spark for the annual conferences. In 2021 event, there were 235 registered participants from 30 countries, who graded the overall conference experience over 4 on a scale 1-5. The 2021 conference was already successful, but in 2022 we are heading to have even bigger and more international event. How society and economy are changing through digital disruption is one of the defining issues of our time. Throughout the history of the mankind, we have had a quest for seeking solutions for better human life.
Safer Bricklaying with Artificial Intelligence
Bricklaying is repetitive and strenuous. It takes a toll on your body, potentially spraining, tearing and straining ligaments and muscles. But new technology is now helping to identify the safer techniques master masons use, gaining insights that can improve training. Musculoskeletal injuries like sprains and strains account for a third of all illnesses and injuries among general construction work, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. They cause workers to miss time and, in some cases, to leave the industry all together -- depleting an aging and already shrinking workforce.

Amazon order made by parrot after it uses Alexa
A pet owner was stunned after her parrot managed to shop online using Amazon's Alexa voice recognition software. Corienne Pretorius, 39, was baffled after a £10 order for gift boxes, which she had not ordered, arrived at her house. The mother-of-one questioned her husband Jan, 45, a civil engineer, and son Jaden, eight, but quickly realised the culprit was Buddy - their African Grey parrot. Ms Pretorius, from Greenwich, south east London, says the cheeky bird mimics her voice, and must have activated her smart Amazon Echo device to place the strange order. Pet owner Corienne Pretorius, of Greenwich, south-east London, was stunned after her parrot (pictured) managed to shop online using Amazon's Alexa voice recognition software She said: 'I couldn't believe it when I realised that it was Buddy who had used Alexa to make an Amazon order.

Elon Musk's New Plan to Tunnel Under Los Angeles
It sounds like the plot of a James Bond movie: A charismatic billionaire wants to build a network of high tech tunnels beneath America's cities and slay an enemy in the process. In addition to building electric vehicles, launching rockets, and colonizing Mars, Musk wants to reinvent tunneling and destroy soul-sucking traffic. Just how Musk's latest venture, the wonderfully named Boring Company, will do that remains rather opaque, perhaps even to Musk himself. "We're just going to figure out what it takes to improve tunneling speed by, I think, somewhere between 500 and 1,000 percent," he said in February, with the nonchalance of someone ordering a latte. "We have no idea what we're doing--I want to be clear about that."
