Timeline (last 90 days)
Ali Jadbabaie, a professor in MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, proposed that four forces—artificial intelligence, digital transformation, climate change, and complex geopolitics—are exerting pressure simultaneously, forcing engineers and policymakers to rethink how infrastructure is designed, built, and managed.
Jadbabaie emphasized that engineers and policymakers need to jointly define the boundary conditions of AI systems, including which decisions can be automated, which must retain human judgment, and how algorithm behavior can be verified at the system level.
