Which all jobs/ roles do you think will become obsolete in construction industry with the development of automation technologies and AI capabilities?

I would love to see the day when humans and AI robots are basically indistinguishable, and I have no idea why.

Agree.
I believe the roles involving low skill level and which are repetitive in nature will fade away as they are more likely to be automated. However, new opportunity in the field of development and implementation of automation, analytics, and robotics will be on the rise.

Thank You, Sergio.
Pleased to know about your experience.

My idea behind posting this thread was to explore the opportunities, experts like you foresee. I agree with you on the misunderstanding about buzzing technologies and AI. However, I am excited about the possibilities in terms of productivity, simulation, foresight, and coordination it is bringing to the construction industry at present.

I have the opportunity to work in China with all related to construction. That was when China "detonate" into its big transformation.After working there I believe that @Mark is making a great comment above. China tools (any type of tools including specialized machine) were AI based and they were constructed in China itself. All process were adjusted to those tools because most of them were an innovation. But, what was the key success factor for success? Training. People create its own university to train people in all related to the construction process and tools. Yes, university. Please, I am not making complains against AI. AI is changing the world from years ago and most of the times people are not aware on that at least you are working with that. What I tried to say is: my "business" is that each initiative based on AI be successful. That is what I tried to put my knowledge to encourage people about take the time to research.

If I understand you correctly, it may appear that I have used the term "AI" casually. Apologies, I am not a purist.

I am talking about new technologies based on data, robotics, automation, VR, AR and AI capabilities to certain extent.
I am fully aware that we have a long way to go in the construction industry with an abysmal growth of productivity and very low level of digitization. Data, reliable & meaningful large amount of data (Big Data, another buzzword) is pretty rare.

I am intrigued by your experience in China and with AI in China. Will you share some more specifics on that? It will help me to explore more on the topic.

That the point. It is easy to find if and only if you understand about AI. Search into each company derscription of products used in China and you will find a detail about that. But if you do not know what AI is it is impossible for you to see that. It is the same into anything the human being is facing. Consciousness will created from knowledge and past experience.

Thanks. Some leads from you would be appreciated. You can leave me a message if it is not appropriate here in this thread.

I had the opportunity to be in that country to study their infrastructure development model lately. Maybe I was on a different plane, but of the numerous discussions and conversions we have with industry leaders, bankers, policy-makers, and politicians, it is strange that none mentioned of such an innovation (and they talked about every other Chinese innovation and ingenuity under the sun).
