ArchAI
De-Risking Construction Planning With Automated Archaeological Assessments
How does it work?
ArchAI automate the assessment of archaeological sites required by environmental impact assessments (EIAs) during the planning permission application process for construction projects within Europe. Their pre-trained AI models can assess thousands of images instantly, providing rapid, accurate feedback to developers and project planners.
Why is it needed?
Knowing where archaeology is located at the earliest planning stages reduces the need for costly and time-consuming manual field assessment.
How does it improve life?
ArchAI explores how crowd intelligence can help train the AI, explore large areas and create social impact. The solution can explore how the collaborative power of Crowd Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence can be used to identify archaeology – and involve local people in the process.
