Artificial intelligence in infrastructure management

Abstract

Application of AI(Artificial Intelligence) technology in infrastructure management is advancing. This article reviews recent advances and state of the art of the field from articles published in Japanese journal of “Artificial Intelligence and Data Science” issued by JSCE(Japan Society of Civil Engineers), with emphasis on use cases in image recognition, language models, prediction, acoustic data, monitoring, nondestructive evaluation, and combination with physics. Open data related to inspection record are pushing the progress of data driven approach in Japan. Inspection support by image data and interpretation of natural language are in progress by development LLM(Large Language Model). Structural monitoring is advancing by introduction of machine learning and CNN(Convolutional Neural Networks) technologies. Combination with physics is expected to improve clarity and quantification of AI.
