Race With Technology – Space Enabled Intelligent Infrastructures

Intelligent Infrastructure refers to the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and automation into physical infrastructure to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability. It involves using real-time data, predictive analytics, and smart systems to optimize the performance of roads, bridges, energy grids, water systems, and urban spaces. In this fireside, Morrison will cover up-to-date industry analysis and trends underway now to realize this vision. Specifically, how the commercial space industry plans to underpin global data connectivity, seamless communications between infrastructure components (e.g. smart cities, smart grid, smart transportation, etc.) and fully/semi-autonomous systems - self-operating drones, vehicles, and robotics - that aim to improve efficiency and reduce human intervention. And, what do these innovations mean for us as humans, our work and how we might embrace "racing with technology" to improve how we live, work and play.
