AI Arrival

Kamau and Ingram discuss the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by the steel industry to help improve efficiency and tackle problems. They state that AI has taken the world by storm, revolutionizing the way machines and computer systems think, learn, and perform tasks that were previously the exclusive domain of human intelligence. While some industry sectors have been reluctant to use AI and are skeptical of its impact, the steel industry is increasingly pushing past its initial hesitation and tackling age-old challenges with AI. The construction and trade industries are plagued with significant issues in labor shortage, low productivity, volatile costs, and manual and repetitive work flows ripe for AI technology innovation. AI systems today can perform tasks like understanding human language, recognizing patterns, learning from experience, and making predictions and decisions. There is no better time than now for innovations that can be used to reduce wasted time and material, alleviate worker stress, and help our industries work safer and faster.
