Artificial Intelligence AI
A data and artificial intelligence term used to analyse, automate or optimise infrastructure decisions.
Artificial Intelligence Explained
Artificial Intelligence is a key term within ai & data analytics, where it is used across construction, infrastructure, transport and industrial project delivery. In practical terms, it helps describe how work is planned, specified, delivered, measured or maintained on real sites and assets. Understanding artificial intelligence is useful because the same language is often shared by contractors, designers, suppliers, asset owners, public authorities and investors.
Within Highways.Today’s Dictionary, artificial intelligence should be read as part of the wider vocabulary of artificial intelligence, data science, analytics and automation terms used in infrastructure and construction. It may appear in technical specifications, tender documents, project reports, equipment guides, safety plans, design models, maintenance schedules or news articles. Exact requirements can vary by country, project type, contract form, standard and manufacturer, so readers should always check the relevant local guidance, drawings, regulations and professional advice before relying on the term for design, procurement or operational decisions.
