#111 Machine Learning: Construction’s Future

10 Jun 2021

Description

When people think of digital tools to help with engineering problems, they usually think of a 3D model or a computerised image, representing something that exists in the real world. Machine learning is not that.  What it does is completely alien to your way of thinking. It operates in such a way that is totally free from human bias, and completely ignores geometric realities. Machine learning is a cold, dispassionate appraisal of past results, and will allow us to accurately predict the future. And it will do it in such a way that will change the industry forever. Guests Beth West, Senior Strategic Advisor, nPlan Dev Amratia, Chief Executive and Co-Founder, nPlan Matthew Jefferies, Digital Transformation Lead, Atkins Neil Thompson, Director of Digital, Atkins Tom Goldsmith, Structural Engineer, Atkins Resources For a list of the historical reports on the state of the construction industry, click here For more information on nPlan, click here For more information on Project 13, click hereTo listen to Episode #90 – The New Way To Plan a City, click here Partner Atkins, part of the SNC-Lavalin Group, is one of the world’s most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies.
