<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">The high demand for tech talent is a double-edged sword. While it&rsquo;s good to know there are plenty of employers who need your skills, it&rsquo;s also pretty hard to stand out from the countless other tech professionals on the market. Here&rsquo;s a selection of CV tips to help you project &ndash; and differentiate &ndash; yourself in the best possible way.</p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><strong>Start with a bang</strong></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">Introduce your CV with a short and punchy profile that gives an overview of your skills, your experience and what you can bring to an employer. If you&rsquo;re a web designer, outline your design skills and how you use them to win business and satisfy customers. Research the most sought-after qualities in your field and reflect them in your profile.</span></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong><strong>Make it practical</strong></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">A CV should be more than just <span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">a list of all the software, tools and programming languages you&rsquo;ve used in your career. You need to show how you apply your technical abilities practically and explain the changes you&rsquo;ve made to businesses.</span></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><strong>C</strong></span><strong style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">ount on clarity</strong></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">Make sure your CV is easy to digest and cleanly laid out, </span>with a bullet-pointed core skills section and employment summary. <span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">Prospective employers need to be able to pick out the key information on a CV quickly and easily. This is especially important for a technical CV.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">Write in plain English so that your CV makes sense to non-technical people. Assume the person reading your CV thinks that Java is an island of Indonesia.</span></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><strong>Mention the metrics</strong></span></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">Use statistics to show the impact you&rsquo;ve made in your previous roles. These could include the value of a project you were leading, the number of staff you managed, the number of users you supported and the amount of time you took to respond to queries.</span></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><strong>Stay up-to-date</strong></span></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">By the time you&rsquo;ve put a tech CV together, tech has probably changed. So make sure you update your CV regularly. It doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;re always looking to move &ndash; but it&rsquo;ll save you a lot of trouble when you do come to search for a new job. Keep up-to-date with the newest and most popular technologies and mention them on your CV.</span></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><strong>Streamline your skills</strong></span></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">Include only the technical skills that are important to the role you&rsquo;re applying for. Listing your entire technical repertoire will only obscure skills that are actually relevant and make your CV tough going for any hiring managers.</span></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><strong>Transcend the tech</strong></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">You need more than tech skills to thrive in an organisation. The biggest tech expert in the world won&rsquo;t be much use to an employer without the ability to interact with other human beings. List your wider skills, such as communication and leadership, to give employers a holistic view of the value you can bring to their company. For example, you might have experience of managing suppliers and gaining sign-off for software upgrades.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1pt;">&nbsp;</span></p>

Top tips for a tech CV

<p>For several years, but more recently in particular, Artificial Intelligence and its prominence and application has been growing. AI such as the infamous ChatGPT has become part of many people&rsquo;s day-to-day, whilst AI applications are becoming bigger and more prevalent across most industries.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across STEM industries Artificial Intelligence is really making an impact. In Life Sciences for example, AI is helping to develop and accelerate processes for research, discovery and creation of game-changing drugs and treatments. However, whilst AI is supporting people and their work, there are some concerns it could someday remove the need for people and their work altogether.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, what about the impact of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering &ndash; one of the key STEM industries? Is AI an engineer&rsquo;s friend or foe? Will it help take engineers and engineering techniques and processes to the next level, or deem them redundant? Let&rsquo;s dive in&hellip;&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Artificial Intelligence in Engineering: The Good</h2>
<p>There can be no doubt that Artificial Intelligence has the power and potential to make positive impacts in engineering. In fact, it already is.</p>
<p>AI can, and is, helping to transform, improve and optimise a variety of processes, functions and performance metrics across engineering and its various applications. <a href="https://aiengineerhub.com/future-artificial-intelligence">A piece from Henri Hubert of the AI Engineer Hub</a>, which helps engineers navigate the AI revolution, highlights just a few of the benefits Artificial Intelligence brings to an engineering environment, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI Driven Design and Optimisation</strong> &ndash; Leveraging the power of AI&rsquo;s machine learning and generative design capabilities, working in parallel with engineer&rsquo;s existing expertise and experience, allows complex engineering processes and tasks to be more efficient, sustainable and innovative.</li>
<li><strong>Predictive Maintenance and Asset Management</strong> &ndash; Another way in which Artificial Intelligence is driving engineering efficiency and reliability; by studying data and predicting patterns, AI can help to discover problem areas before they even arise, which can reduce downtime, maintenance costs and free-up time.</li>
<li><strong>Collaborative Robotics and Human-Machine Synergy</strong> &ndash; Artificial Intelligence robots learn from humans as much as they can teach them and can adapt to the parameters of certain situations and tasks to complete and perform them &ndash; alongside humans &ndash; to a remarkably high standard.</li>
<li><strong>AI-Enhanced Safety and Risk Management</strong> &ndash; AI has the power to help take health and safety management to the next level, through identifying potential risks and suggesting potential outcomes and countermeasures, which can then be put into place in relevant processes and functions.</li>
<li><strong>AI in Education and Skill Development </strong>&ndash; Engineering is evolving and developing all the time, requiring the development and learning of new skills, processes and knowledge. Utilising AI to identify potential new skills and processes that may be required in the future gives engineers a potential head start, allowing them to nurture such skills ahead of the time they may be needed.</li>
</ul>
<p>AI, when used correctly, is widely perceived as a supportive technology within the engineering industry; one that &ndash; when used in support of humans, their work and goals, rather than against them &ndash; has the capability to not only change the way things are done for the better now, but also shape the future of the industry too.</p>
<p>But the key here, is always whether AI is being &lsquo;used correctly&rsquo;, as we&rsquo;ll now explore&hellip;</p>
<h2>Artificial Intelligence in Engineering: The Bad</h2>
<p>Considering the power of Artificial Intelligence and the potential breadth of its abilities, it is easy to fall into thinking that AI is the &lsquo;all seeing, all knowing&rsquo; answer to all problems, questions and tasks. This is risky.</p>
<p>For example, as <a href="https://eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html">highlighted by Eugenia Rho, Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech&rsquo;s Department of Computer Science</a>, an increased dependence on AI can reduce critical thinking, which in turn could potentially lead to a diminishing of skills and knowledge, and &ndash; as a knock-on effect &ndash; deter future human development.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Ali Shojaei Assistant Professor, Myers-Lawson School of Construction <a href="https://eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html">warns against an accelerated, all-out integration and adoption of AI in real-world settings</a>, suggesting that seeing Artificial Intelligence as a &lsquo;silver bullet&rsquo; to all problems and challenges in industries such as engineering could lead to poor results.</p>
<p>What&rsquo;s more, with Artificial Intelligence built on, operated by and developed by data, it suffers from a few data-related drawbacks too. AI supplied with incorrect or incomplete data will produce incorrect or incomplete results; in turn resulting in products and processes could hinder engineers, rather than help. Don&rsquo;t forget, data is stored and powered by data centres that consume large amounts of electricity too, so by utilising AI you could in fact risk negatively impacting your company&rsquo;s carbon footprint &ndash; an important consideration in STEM industries.</p>
<h2>Artificial Intelligence in Engineering: The (Potentially) Worrying</h2>
<p>Adopting new technology, approaches, methods and techniques often brings with it a few worries; after all, change &ndash; no matter how positive it could potentially be &ndash; can be unsettling and difficult to understand.</p>
<p>The adoption of Artificial Intelligence in engineering is certainly presenting some potential worries and challenges for those within the industry, and arguably the most common and concerning for many is AI&rsquo;s impact on human-roles and job security, and whether Artificial Intelligence &ndash; with all its capabilities and seemingly-endless applications &ndash; could simply replace a human workforce.</p>
<p>However, there is believe that this isn&rsquo;t the case. In fact, even AI developers are keen to dispel these concerns. Dr Richard Ahlfeld, CEO and Founder of Monolith, an AI platform used by some of the world&rsquo;s leading automotive, aerospace and industrial engineering firms, for example <a href="https://www.theengineer.co.uk/content/in-depth/expert-qa-what-does-ai-mean-for-engineers">has offered some settling insight,</a> supporting the idea that AI is simply there to support and further develop the skilled workers within industries such as engineering.</p>
<p>These thoughts are also echoed by Ali Shojaei, who &ndash; despite recognising the potential for workers&rsquo; roles to become obsolete due to the adoption of AI &ndash; <a href="https://eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html">sees new human-role opportunities arising from the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and what is required to support and benefit from it.</a></p>
<h2>The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering</h2>
<p>Artificial Intelligence is here. And here to stay. Like it or not, AI is &ndash; and will continue to &ndash; impacting all our lives; even if you&rsquo;re not aware of, or understand, the impact it is having or the way it is making said impacts.</p>
<p>AI is revolutionising processes, projects and the results they produce, with the aim of making life &ndash; in and outside of work &ndash; easier for us all.</p>
<p>It may or may not replace humans in existing engineering roles; it could, or could not, create new roles too. But one thing is for sure, Artificial Intelligence has the potential to help build a bolder, brighter future for engineering and engineers &ndash; but only if it is used correctly, carefully and considerately, and in support of the work that talented, expert engineers produce.</p>

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just a buzzword. The impacts of AI are being felt across industries including engineering, and already changing processes and the way people work. But is it beneficial to engineers, another ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ technology, or something from them to worry about?

Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering: An Engineer's Friend or Foe?

<p>With the technology sector growing and developing at pace, year after year, attracting and recruiting the very best talent for its various technical industries and roles is increasingly important. But while the sector grows, talent pool growth isn&rsquo;t keeping up the pace.</p>
<p>This means that tech companies have a challenge on their hands; a challenge to not only find the right people, with the right skills, the passion, and the cultural traits to suit their business, but also set themselves apart from other companies and fend off competition for such talent.</p>
<p>However, with challenges come opportunities. Thankfully, there are plenty of opportunities &ndash; and ways &ndash; to find, hire, keep and develop tech talent that will not only impact your company, but the wider industry too.</p>
<p>In a highly competitive market, where top tech talent is often in the unique position to &lsquo;hold the cards&rsquo; when it comes to where and how they want to begin or progress their career, it is important to make the right moves when finding and hiring.</p>
<p>Here are a few tips to help you do just that:</p>
<h2><strong>&lsquo;Think like a recruit&rsquo;</strong></h2>
<p>The world has changed, and so has recruitment. Traditionally, the focus for HR departments and recruiters was to formulate and improve their own strictly formatted processes, ones which were centred around the business, rather than people.</p>
<p>Today, however, it is arguably more important than ever to put yourselves in the shoes of the talent you want to attract.</p>
<p>Consider who they&rsquo;d want to talk to; interviewing the right people&nbsp;<strong>with&nbsp;</strong>the right people will produce more insightful, informed conversation. Think about where you&rsquo;re active in your search, considering the variety of channels talent will use. And be ready to answer key questions, not just ask them; the best, most ambitious talent will want to know why they should choose you from their multitude of employment options &ndash; think of it as being interviewed by them.</p>
<h2><strong>Invest in (and use!) the right talent hiring tools</strong></h2>
<p>There are tools aplenty available for helping you find talent, assess their skills, and decide whether they are the perfect match for your company.</p>
<p>Ironically, the work of some of the brightest tech minds have created systems and tools that take advantage of the latest technological advances, from recruitment software to AI-powered programs that measure a candidate&rsquo;s task competency.</p>
<p>By using such tools, you can systematically narrow down your search to ensure that the hire you make is the right one, for your company and the specific role in question.</p>
<h2><strong>Alternatively, invest in a recruitment specialist&hellip;</strong></h2>
<p>If you really want to hone in on the very best tech talent available, the help and guidance provided by experts such as our&nbsp;<a href="../../../../../../business-solutions/specialist-recruitment">specialist recruiters at Carbon60</a>&nbsp;could be invaluable.</p>
<p>With knowledge and expertise built over decades of hands-on experience, and a network of people who understand business needs and what it takes to seek-out and secure candidates for a variety of roles in the technology sector, you can rely on Carbon60 to create effective recruitment campaigns that will deliver on your unique objectives.</p>
<p>Finding talent is tricky. For any company. Thankfully there are experts at hand to connect you to the exact talent you need.</p>
<h2><strong>Be brutal (in the right way)</strong></h2>
<p>You know what your company needs and the sort of talent you&rsquo;re looking for to meet those needs. So, while you should of course treat every potential candidate with care and respect, it pays to be focused on the talent you require, and the particular skills and attributes they&rsquo;ll need to bring to your company.</p>
<p>Think about specifics, be clear on your requirements and act accordingly &ndash; the market is too competitive, with other companies seeking the very same people you are, to spend time working with ifs and buts.</p>
<h2><strong>Be prepared to embed tech talent quickly</strong></h2>
<p>Technology doesn&rsquo;t stand still, and the tech talent with the brightest of minds will likely want to get moving quickly too.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ve put in the time and effort to find the perfect hire for your role, so now it&rsquo;s time to put them to work. The reason you&rsquo;ve chosen a particular person to work with you is because you&rsquo;ve identified that they have the skills and attributes to do the job, so you should feel confident in embedding them in your company, team, processes, and projects.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s best for both your company and your new hire to get going as quickly as possible &ndash; you benefit from their talent, while they get to learn, develop, and work towards producing results from the moment they join, which will not only help them settle, but provide a sense of belonging and trust.</p>
<h2><strong>Think beyond just hiring &ndash; you need to keep and develop your tech talent too</strong></h2>
<p>You&rsquo;ve put in the hard work, attracted the very best tech talent, and made the perfect hire for your company. Don&rsquo;t let that work go to waste by not providing opportunities for your talent to develop their skills, grow their knowledge and expertise and build a career &ndash; doing so risks losing them, setting you back to square one.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s a few ideas on how to help keep and develop your tech talent:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>Promote and provide opportunities for learning and skill development</strong></h3>
<p>As your new employee looks to build their career, with you and in general, they&rsquo;ll be looking to build on their skill set and experience too. It is imperative that any business provides opportunities for learning and development, but it is all the more important for companies in tech, as the game changes so quickly it is easy to be left behind.</p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t restrict learning opportunities to practical elements either; it is just as important to help your employees&rsquo; personal development too, providing them with all the knowledge and skills they need to perhaps progress to management or leadership roles, or simply to help communication, teamwork and to imprint the company&rsquo;s culture.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><strong>Offer clear, interesting career paths</strong></h3>
<p>After any hire, you should always think about the &lsquo;what&rsquo;s next?&rsquo; &ndash; you can be sure that your new employee will be. Whilst you will have found, attracted and secured talent for a specific role, it is beneficial for both employer and employee to have clear career paths ahead and consider which future roles the journey could lead to.</p>
<p>Employees will likely want to progress their career, and if you don&rsquo;t give them the chance to do so with you, they&rsquo;ll go elsewhere to take the next step. Therefore, it is important to have regular conversations about the future, give and take feedback that&rsquo;ll help progression and continually develop skills. Doing so will also hopefully ensure that the company continues to benefit from the talent they identified long into future.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><strong>Trust in talent &amp; let them work</strong></h3>
<p>Empowerment is, well, powerful. This is especially true for the tech sector and the way talent works within it. Trusting in the skills of the talent you hire, to allow them to get on with the work you hired them for, can have a huge impact on employee happiness, development, and the likelihood of them wanting to build their career with you, rather than elsewhere.</p>
<p>Guide, offer advice and support. Don&rsquo;t micromanage. You&rsquo;ll soon discover the benefits of doing so when you allow your company&rsquo;s bright minds to do what they do best.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><strong>Ensure effective ways of working<br></strong></h3>
Having an effective, established working environment is as important as the people working in it. Bad practices, poor quality equipment, not providing the tools required to complete a task effectively; these are elements that can frustrate, restrict workflow, and prevent your tech talent from producing the results that they, and your company, want to achieve.</li>
</ul>
<p>The very best companies not only invest in the very best talent, but they also invest in providing the very best working environments they can too. A functioning workplace is a happy, productive workplace, one that encourages people to thrive, develop and drives them forward.</p>

At Carbon60, we know how tricky finding the right hire for tech companies can be. So, we’ve pulled together a few tips on not only how to hire top tech talent but keep and develop them too.

<p class="Default">Automation, robots and artificial intelligence (AI) receive a lot of bad press. Whether it be the less informed, media hyperbole or out of context comments from world-renowned physicists. The mere mention of this relatively new technology tends to bring with it negative connotations founded in science fiction.</p>
<p class="Default">The fact is it may be necessary to displace certain jobs in favour of an automated process to benefit everyone in the long term. Looking at this in a positive light gives us the opportunity to upskill our human workers to get them to work in more interesting, fulfilling roles. Knowledge based roles that perhaps involve more creativity or social interaction or a higher level of purpose.</p>
<p class="Default">Although experts say that over a third of jobs are at risk from automation, and despite the job losses in certain sectors - primarily within the manufacturing and retail world - there have been many jobs created, with over 1 million in healthcare alone. Add to this the fusion of industrial production and the connected world that is not only improving the manufacturing process, but is creating more jobs.</p>
<p class="Default">The concern about job losses may seem irrational when looking at the bigger picture as one of the main issues companies are facing are skill shortages, especially within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) businesses. There&rsquo;s no danger of a shortage of jobs, quite the opposite in fact. The majority of companies have found it difficult to recruit staff with the required skills in the last 12 months alone and only expect the skill shortages to worsen.</p>
<p>AI and automation can be a positive change that we need to think of as a useful collaboration tool rather than the enemy.</p>
<p>We cannot avoid the fact that technology will see robots get more sophisticated and displace certain jobs. However, its rise will also create many new work opportunities and leave many that are difficult to automate untouched.</p>
<p><strong><a href="-/media/7b2262d9761d43b289b0b44129cb956f.ashx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">To read the full report &lsquo;Automation for the people&rsquo; click here&nbsp;</a></strong></p>

A summary of how an automatic future would affect the world.

Automatic Future

<p>The idea behind artificial intelligence (AI) and automation is that machines are used to perform tasks that would normally require a human being. AI is already beginning to change the way buildings are designed and built, as well as the completion of repetitive site work jobs such as bricklaying. A recent study by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute (MEPI) estimates that by 2057, robots could replace or displace 2.7 million jobs in construction and engineering.</p>
<p>Below are some advantages and disadvantages of how AI could affect the construction and engineering industry.</p>
<h4><strong>Advantages</strong></h4>
<p><strong>Reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace</strong><br>Since construction and engineering can be a dangerous industry, some of the riskiest jobs can be replaced by robots. When programmed correctly, they can be designed to learn from interactions within it's surroundings and operate in dangerous environments, resulting in less work-related injuries. Although automation was originally used to increase productivity on construction sites, it&rsquo;s beginning to prove that the workplace can also be made safer through AI.<br><br><strong>Not affected by hostile environments</strong><br>Intelligent robots have the ability to complete dangerous construction tasks. These may include lifting heavy equipment, digging fuels that could otherwise be hostile for humans, space exploration and enduring problems that could injure or kill humans. Robots can never refuse to do a task, or be distracted by colleagues in the workplace.<br><br><strong>Can replace tiresome tasks</strong><br>Repetitive, tedious or dangerous jobs can be completed by machine intelligence. They are stronger and faster than humans and can work on tasks 24/7 without getting tired or bored. The human brain can become tired and less focused if worked continuously for too long, increasing the risk of accidents in the workplace. Robots will never get tired of what they are programmed to do, and can be used where human safety is a concern.<br><br><strong>Don&rsquo;t need to take breaks</strong><br>Robots do not require lunch breaks, holidays, sick days or wages. They can be set to work on a repetitive cycle, unless programmed otherwise. As long as the machine is maintained and programmed correctly, it can work without stopping. This helps businesses to achieve tight deadlines with 24/7 production, letting operators do the more skilled tasks which require a lot of fitness and experience.&nbsp;<br><br></p>
<h4>Disadvantages</h4>
<p><strong>Can be very expensive</strong><br>Maintaining a robot can be extremely expensive as they are very complex machines which require huge costs to repair and maintain. They have software programmes that need frequent upgrading to be able to achieve the needs of the constantly changing environment.&nbsp; It is not an easy or cheap task to get a machine to do your job. Therefore, only organisations which can afford them will be able to invest.<br><br><strong>Not able to work outside of what they are programmed to do</strong><br>Robots can only do the work that they are programmed to do. They are not able to act any differently outside of the programming which is stored in their internal circuits and firmware. When it comes to creativity, nothing can beat a human mind. A computer can&rsquo;t think differently while drawing, building or completing a task on a construction site. A machine can&rsquo;t think &lsquo;outside the box&rsquo; whereas thousands of new thoughts and ideas comes into a human mind every day.<br><br><strong>Unemployment may rise</strong><br>Experts are debating the impact AI can have on the job market and whether it&rsquo;s something we should welcome or fear. Even with computing technologies constantly improving and industrial robots becoming more advanced, jobs may be destroyed faster than they&rsquo;re created. It&rsquo;s estimated by MIT economist Erik Brynjolfsson that the vast majority of employment is likely to continue to dramatically drop over the next decade.<br><br><strong>Robots do not get better with experience&hellip;yet&nbsp;</strong><br>Unlike humans; AI cannot be improved with experience. Machines may be able to store enormous amounts of data, but the storage, is not as effective as the human brain and with time, can lead to wear and tear. It stores a lot of data but the way it can be accessed and used is very different from human intelligence.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br>So is AI really a threat? Although we&rsquo;re potentially facing one of the best or worst things to happen to humanity, there are many advantages and disadvantages of AI. In today&rsquo;s world, machines have human-like abilities, and AI is rapidly growing and improving all the time.

Advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence in construction and engineering

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been a hot topic across various industries. People are keen to know how automation could affect their businesses and/or careers. This has continued to grow as AI enters the mainstream in a range of ways.</p>
<p>Studies show that almost 77% of devices today use AI technology in some way, and there will soon be more AI assistants (such as Amazon Alexa) than people on this planet! Meanwhile, the AI market itself is predicted to reach $407 billion by 2027.</p>
<p>But behind all of the fascinating statistics are real-life pros and cons of AI. In this blog, we&rsquo;ll hone in on the construction and engineering industries, to see how AI could affect them. These are two areas where AI is already being frequently used, and research by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute (MEPI) estimates that by 2057, robots could replace or displace 2.7 million jobs in construction and engineering.</p>
<p>So how could AI affect the <a href="~/link.aspx?_id=C49E5A3C52D9490EABE8C875CE00829D&amp;_z=z">construction</a>&nbsp;and <a href="~/link.aspx?_id=68D1FB64687643F787DFD1986A595CC0&amp;_z=z">engineering</a>&nbsp;industries? Here are some advantages and disadvantages.<br><br></p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size: 32px; color: #7c97ab;"><strong>Advantages of AI</strong></span></strong></h2>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Greater productivity</span></strong></p>
<p>This was the original purpose of automation, and it definitely applies in industries like construction and engineering. Essentially, AI can free up human workers to go where they add the most value. For example, some construction companies are using self-driving machinery to do repetitive tasks such as welding or pouring concrete. The human workers can then focus on the construction work itself, making projects run smoother.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Companies are also increasingly relying on off-site factories. This is when components of a building are pieced together off-site by robots, before then moving over to the construction site to be finalised by humans. Examples include walls &ndash; the structure can be assembled by AI, leaving human workers to complete the finer details such as plumbing and electrical systems.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Enhanced quality</span></strong></p>
<p>The speed and accuracy of machine learning don&rsquo;t just make tasks more efficient &ndash; it makes them better. There are already some great examples of this within engineering when you look at tasks such as design and simulation.&nbsp; AI is often embedded within Computer Aided Design (CAD), making it smarter and eliminating any potential discrepancies. These tools help engineers explore options that otherwise wouldn&rsquo;t be possible &ndash; for example, design and weight-saving options.</p>
<p>Similarly, AI is really helpful when engineers are working on public infrastructure projects. They use it to predict things like footfall, meaning decisions are made with evidence behind them rather than a gut feeling. It can even help promising candidates with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/how-ai-can-help-you-prepare-for-your-interview">interview prep</a>.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">More accurate budgets and timelines</span></strong></p>
<p>Think about how many projects you hear about that run over the deadline, and therefore cost more. This is something AI can help mitigate. For example, Artificial Neural Networks can create predictive models, by looking at historical data and other factors such as project size and the experience of Project Managers. This can then be used to give a much more accurate idea of costs and timings &ndash; meaning happier stakeholders at the end of it all.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">A safer workplace</span></strong></p>
<p>Construction and engineering can both be high-risk industries, so it makes sense to use robots for some of the more dangerous jobs. A good example within construction is the use of drones, which has made reporting and site evaluations much safer. Other areas include using robots to lift heavy equipment or dig for fuels which could be poisonous to humans.</p>
<p>Another benefit of using AI is that, unlike humans, robots don&rsquo;t get tired. Therefore, accidents which can happen as a result of human error or fatigue are reduced.</p>
<p>The safety benefits of AI go beyond operating machinery as well. There&rsquo;ve been instances of companies using it to track and stop the spread of viruses such as COVID-19, by seeing exactly which colleagues an infected employee has interacted with.</p>
<p>Although automation was originally used to increase productivity and replace tiresome tasks, there&rsquo;s no doubt that the workplace can also be made safer through AI.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Non-stop ability</span></strong></p>
<p>Robots don&rsquo;t require lunch breaks, holidays or sick days. They can be set to work on a repetitive cycle unless programmed otherwise. As long as the machine is maintained and programmed correctly, it can work without stopping. This helps businesses to achieve tight deadlines and ensure a 24/7 production line.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size: 32px; color: #7c97ab;"><strong>Disadvantages of AI</strong></span></strong></h2>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">High costs</span></strong></p>
<p>Maintaining a robot can be extremely expensive &ndash; ultimately, they are highly complex machines which require big investments. Just to give you one example, Apple&rsquo;s SIRI software cost the company $200 million to acquire and get off the ground!</p>
<p>Not only are robots extremely intricate to set up, but they have huge ongoing costs for repair and maintenance. They have software programmes that need frequent upgrading, so they can meet the needs of the constantly changing environment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, further developments and economies of scale might change things in the future &ndash; but right now, these costs mean that not all organisations can afford to invest in robots.<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Unemployment may rise</span></strong></p>
<p>One of the biggest fears people have is the potential job losses AI can lead to. While this isn&rsquo;t always the case (as mentioned earlier, it allows humans to go where they can add value), there are still instances where people will be made redundant altogether. In some industries, this has been seen with the axing of customer service agents in favour of chatbots.</p>
<p>People who work in areas that are most at risk of being replaced will need to receive training. This will help them add to their skillset and have multiple strings to their bow &ndash; allowing them to stay ahead of the machines.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Lack of personality</span></strong></p>
<p>Robots serve a very functional purpose. Ultimately, they are machines which don&rsquo;t have feelings or the human touch. This can be a problem in any industry, as they can&rsquo;t think outside of the box. For example, a human working on a construction site can be flexible if they come across a particular problem, and come up with a bespoke solution. A robot, on the other hand, will be programmed to do the same thing regardless of the situation. When it comes to creativity, nothing can beat a human mind.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Security risks</span></strong></p>
<p>As is the case with most technologies, AI software can be vulnerable to outside attacks, such as data manipulation, theft and a whole lot more. The impact can be even worse because AI specifically makes decisions by processing data.&nbsp; If the initial data being fed in has been tampered with &ndash; for example by a hacker &ndash; this could lead to projects being damaged rather than improved.<br><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br><strong>Robots don&rsquo;t get better with experience&hellip;yet&nbsp;</strong></span></p>
<p>Unlike humans, AI cannot be improved with experience. Machines may be able to store enormous amounts of data, but the storage isn&rsquo;t as effective as the human brain. Over time, it can be susceptible to wear and tear. It stores a lot of data but the way it can be accessed and used is very different from human intelligence.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI is here to stay, and there&rsquo;s no question that it has pros and cons. But while it&rsquo;s still in a developing stage (as opposed to the mass takeover people fear), humans still have the upper hand. The key is knowing what the benefits are so we can make the most of them, and knowing what the risks are so we can avoid them.</p>
