AI FAQ : Learn everything about Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\r\n \r\n

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?<\/span><\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nAI is a technology, often based on algorithms, that enables machines to learn and make decisions, in order to perform tasks by imitating human intelligence. The tasks to be performed are often predefined, with the primary goal being to train the AI to perform a specific task as effectively as possible.\r\n\r\nIndeed, as is the case with autonomous vehicles, AI must be “trained” by absorbing a large amount of data to learn and be capable of executing the requested task; for example, distinguishing between a pedestrian and a cyclist.\r\n\r\nThe great strength of AI is its ability to process a monumental amount of data in a short time, which gives it remarkable predictive capability. In construction projects, for example, it can enable time savings, resource and budgetary savings, or even enhance the safety of site workers.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Since when has AI existed? <\/span><\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nAlthough Alan Turing is often considered the “father” of modern computing and one of the precursors of Artificial Intelligence, the origins of its appearance are a bit more complex, and the idea of a “thinking machine” has been present in the human mind since antiquity. It is the research and publications of numerous scientists over decades that have led to the emergence of AI as we know it today.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n

How many types of artificial intelligence are there? <\/span><\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nArtificial Intelligence is often categorized into two main types.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n1. Narrow AI (ANI, Artificial Narrow Intelligence):<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u27a1\ufe0f This is the AI that currently exists. It relies on algorithms for task automation. The learning capability of this form of AI enables tasks such as decision-making for autonomous vehicles and virtual assistants (e.g., Amazon’s Alexa). This form of AI also includes “generative” applications like ChatGPT (text) or Midjourney and Dall-E (images).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n2. Strong AI, composed of General AI (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI):<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u27a1\ufe0fFor now, at the theoretical stage, it involves imagining a machine capable of thinking equivalent to humans. It would possess its own consciousness and be capable of emancipating itself from the data initially integrated into it. Strong AI would also be able to fully mimic human reasoning: planning for the future, problem-solving, questioning, or even expressing an opinion.\r\n\r\nAI operates through algorithms, which are based on specific techniques such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, a subcategory of Machine Learning.\r\n\r\n \r\n

What are the applications and uses of AI in the construction industry?<\/span><\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nIn construction, AI can intervene at various stages of a project to optimize planning, costs, resource management, and safety:\r\n
