AI In Construction Is Almost Here

On today’s show we are taking another look at artificial intelligence. So far when we think of AI, most people think of something like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. But this is the tip of the iceberg. 

The real revolution is going to be the combination of AI and robotics. We are talking about a complete remake of virtually all physical products in existence. Think of autonomous vehicles, autonomous lawnmowers, autonomous aircraft, autonomous cooking tools, autonomous construction equipment.

The US administration seems focused on bringing manufacturing back to the US. But instead, the US should be focused on winning the factories of the future. These facilities will first need to manufacture the robots that will be used to manufacture the products. If we don’t take that first step then we will be doing some manufacturing in the US with Chinese robots. That virtually guarantees that our western economies will be relegated to a second tier economy. 

Europe is a lost cause. They’ve erected so many regulatory barriers that Europe is has no chance to achieve leadership in AI. 

So on today’s show I’m going to showcase one startup company, Bedrock Robotics.

Their focus is on excavators for heavy construction.
