2. We’re at dawn of new age in human history, there have
been four major historical eras defined by the we work,
“The hunter gatherer age”, “Agricultural age”, “Industrial
Age” and “Information Age” and now today we are at the
cusp of our next great era as a species “The Augmented
Age”.
In this new era, our natural human capabilities are to be
augmented by computational systems that help you
think, robotics system that help you make, and digital
nervous system that connects you to the world far
beyond our natural senses.

3. WHAT IS
AI?

4. Introduction:
Artificial intelligence (AI)
is the simulation of
human intelligence
processes by machines,
especially computer
systems.

5. History of A.I
The field of AI research was born at a
workshop at Dartmouth College in 1956,
The term Artificial Intelligence was coined by John
McCarthy
Dartmouth College John McCarthy

6. • Deep Blue became the first computer chess-playing system to beat a
reigning world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, on 11 May 1997
• In 2011, a Jeopardy! quiz show exhibition match, IBM's question
answering system, Watson, defeated the two
greatest Jeopardy! champions, Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings
• In March 2016, AlphaGo won 4 out of 5 games of Go in a match with
Go champion Lee Sedol
• Google Assistant is an artificial intelligence-powered assistant
developed by Google installed on more than 400 million devices

7. WHY
SHOULD
WE
USE
A.I?
• Creativity
• Speed
• Accuracy
• Efficiency
• Economics
• Automation
Most Economical and Creative Designs beyond our
imagination in no time.

8. HOW A.I WORKS?
AI works by combining large amounts of data with
fast, iterative processing and intelligent algorithms,
allowing the software to learn automatically from
patterns or features in the data. AI is a broad field of
study that includes many theories, methods and
technologies.

9. Traits Or Capabilities
• Reasoning, Problem Solving
• Knowledge Representation
• Planning
• Learning (Machine learning)
• Natural Language Processing
• Perception
• Motion and Manipulation
• Social intelligence

10. • Generative Design
• Expert Systems
• Fuzzy Logic
• Building Information
Method (BIM)

11. Tools:
• Search and Optimization
• Logic
• Probabilistic Methods for Uncertain Reasoning
• Artificial Neural Network
Feature detection helps AI
compose informative abstract
structures out of raw data
Self-driving car system use
a neural network,
rectangular prisms that
must be avoided

12. Application of A.I:
• Design and Construction Industry
• Healthcare
• Automotive
• Finance and economics
• Government
• Military
• Audit
• Advertising
• Art

13. Application of A.I in Civil Engineering:
• Designing
• Planning
• Construction
• Management
• Maintenance
• Analysis and Optimization

14. Current State of A.I:
• Airbus used Generative Design to design aeroplane’s partition and successfully
designed partition that have same strength as regular parts but reduced its weight by
50%, it is in use in manufacturing of Airbus A320.
• Laarman’s most ambitious project, a 40-foot 3D-printed steel bridge that will span
an Amsterdam canal.

15. • Kespry offers an accurate PPK (Post Processed Kinematic), fully integrated
(hardware and software) and completely automated solution.
• XtreeE develops advanced large-scale 3D printing technology for the architectural
design, engineering and construction sector. XtreeE, pairs generative design and 3D
printing to produce complex and stunning building sections.
• 3D Robotics (3DR) and Autodesk have announced that 3DR’s drones which will be
directed toward construction, telecom companies, survey, mapping, energy and
infrastructure industries. 3DR has released Site Scan software, providing one-click
data collection and processing that’s integrated with popular Autodesk design tools
such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, InfraWorks, Navisworks, and Revit

16. Tesla is already selling self driving cars that uses Tesla Autopilot,
And Tesla Model 3 became the Safest Car Ever tested By NHTSA,
Sophia is a social AI based humanoid robot developed by Hong
Kong based company Hanson Robotics.
Tesla Model 3
Sophia was activated on
February 14, 2016 and
made its first public in
mid-March 2016 in
Austin, Texas, United
States. It is able to
display more than 50
facial expressions

18. Future Scope:
Artificial intelligence will be the next huge wave to engulf our
industry – using the vast data banks built up on our projects,
supplemented by terabytes of easily accessible data from
providers like Google and a myriad of other data providers that
will emerge
A.I has unimaginable potential. Its just matter of time that we
will start to see its capabilities in few years, we are already
witnessing A.I taking place in our daily life like Google Assistant
and Self driving cars like Tesla (that proved to be safest car ever
made)

19. Quotes about A.I:
“Over the course of next 20 years more will change around the way
we do our work than its happened in last 2000 years, in fact I think we are
at dawn of new age in human history.” Maurice Conti, Chief Innovation
Officer, Alpha.
“The relationship between human intelligence and artificial
intelligence will necessarily be one of symbiosis. The challenge and
potential of exploring this co-evolutionary future is the biggest story of
the next century and one in which a closeness in development velocity is a
necessity.” Bryan Johnson, CEO of Kernel.

20. “Ultimately, AIs will dematerialize, demonetize and democratize all of
these services, dramatically improving the quality of life for 8 billion people,
pushing us closer towards a world of abundance.” Peter Diamandis, Greek
American engineer, physician, and entrepreneur.
“Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. The
ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the web. It would
understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing.
We're nowhere near doing that now. However, we can get incrementally closer
to that, and that is basically what we work on.” Larry Page, American
computer scientist and Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Google
“Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this
technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we'll
augment our intelligence.” Ginni Rometty, American business executive. She is
the current chair, president, and CEO of IBM

21. Conclusion:
Artificial Intelligence will change Civil Engineering and every
designing field drastically, the designing techniques and methods
that we know today today will no longer be in use in few decades,
Artificial intelligence technology will change with each passing day,
so it’s possibilities and it has unimaginable potential in every field,
and in civil engineering field will have a broad prospect. Artificial
intelligence can help inexperienced users solve engineering
problems, can also help experienced users to improve the work
efficiency, and in the team through the artificial intelligence
technology to share the experience of each member.
