Digital Twin Drives Data

Construction projects—specifically infrastructure projects—are becoming more complex than ever before. As Julien Moutte, CTO, Bentley Systems, recently told me on The Peggy Smedley Show, the demand on infrastructure has never been so high for many reasons, which he explains on the podcast. Here at Constructech, we have been talking about failing infrastructure around the world and in the United States, the need for greater resiliency and sustainability, and the need for greater security of our infrastructure systems.

With the help of technology, there are opportunities to build infrastructure that is modern, resilient, and sustainable. However, building these projects is easier said than done. Enter digital twins and AI (artificial intelligence).

Gen AI has truly seen an uptick in recent years due to several factors, but as we all know, artificial intelligence isn’t necessarily new. It has been around for decades. Moutte says it has been researched as early as the 1960s, but what is true is in the last two years AI has exploded. He explains the tipping point was the size of the model, the rise of ChatGPT, and the fact that it is finally able to have a conversation with humans.
