Inspecting Bridges and Critical Infrastructure: An AI and Blockchain Approach

In recent years, the safety and integrity of bridges and critical infrastructure have become a paramount concern for governments and societies worldwide. Traditional inspection methods are often time-consuming, prone to human error, and can be economically taxing. The advent of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain offers a transformative approach to inspecting and maintaining these structures. In this extended abstract we discuss the perspective and opportunities presented by integrating AI and blockchain in the inspection of bridges and critical infrastructure, emphasizing the enhancement of data integrity and the potential for these technologies to revolutionize the field.
