Advanced AI or artificial intelligence is slowly taking over the world. Like every field, Artificial Intelligence is making its path in the construction industry too. Artificial Intelligence can deal with design, planning, computer, structure almost everything in the construction industry.
Advanced AI memorizes to execute a task with the ability of a computerized system. just like humans but more of automated programming. This technology can perform many critical tasks quickly that require a lot of time and effort. But just like its advantages, there are so many flaws too
The Al system is slowly taking over the construction industry and changing the architecture, building, design like never before. previously it took engineers to fulfil all these jobs but now the advanced AI can do all of these without wasting much time.
Using large machinery, road maps, orange cones, planning, data handling are all given to an advanced Ai system. Many potential risks can appear because of this change. It can be a disastrous thing that can happen to humans.
Disenrolling Humans
As advanced technology like AI is getting enrolled in the construction industry humans are becoming jobless. The negative impact of the AI system is making people scared that they will lose their job. Also the safety of life and risks in working with this Artificial Intelligence handling the big machines.
The construction industry where people used to do the bricklaying, hard Labour works, road works with orange cones, and handling big machinery are now being given to the advanced AI systems. People are getting anxious about their job and they are either getting disenrolled or replaced by Advanced AI.
Risk factors
Advanced AI and humans can work together and finish a project without any problem but putting them side by side need to be balanced. Construction jobs are high-risk jobs and require a lot of skills. There is no room for any technical errors So the AI needs to be carefully assessed to minimise the rational and financial opportunities in the construction industry.
All practical threats should be taken into consideration before using an advanced AI system in the construction industry.
Data safety
In the construction industry data protection is a huge problem. In construction, the AI system requires a large dataset to adapt to the machines and train upon. So any data passed to the AI has got to be taken care of beforehand. processing, collecting and sharing personal data needs to be more secure.
Failure, in this case, can lead to so much damage for the industry. This can cause a criminal trial and substantial fines. The advanced AI system has no confirmation of this and even if taken cautiously it can cause a blunder and damage. Dealing with practical policies with handling data is more manageable and minimises the risk.
Cyber Security
The cyber risk is huge with the large amount of data the AI system needs to collect and process in a construction project. These data are personal and business-related so they never need tight cube security protection.
The payments that are made for the construction project are similarly should be cyber protected.
Advanced AI systems are more of a threat to the construction industry. It is troublesome to use artificial AI to know that the data can be manipulated or audio or video can be faked.
So cybersecurity needs to be taken seriously and cautiously about these cases.
Ownership
Any mistakes cause in the construction industry whether, in a building site or road site, someone needs to take ownership of that mistake. An AI system is trained by engineers and they can’t take ownership of their mistakes.
In case of important data management too. It is important to establish beforehand who will own the data and who will take the responsibility for its exploitation.
Yes, the technology can indeed be beneficial for any industrial production. Artificial AI is used in facial recognition, data analytics, sensor networks and the internets also budgeting the project. These tasks can anytime get disturbed by a small problem or malware in the AI system.
So there stand huge risks about security, privacy and malware from using advanced AI. It is a disruption to the construction industry and it needs to be balance.
