As an experiment to explore its power, I have generated an IFME blog using the artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT. The blog was produced by simply asking it to "introduce the idea of using AI in municipal engineering and public works, including case studies from the UK, Australia, and around the world". ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts - but it hasn't done too bad!
I welcome your comments, or even examples, on the role of artificial intelligence in municipal engineering and public works.
