Every day, millions of workers step onto construction sites—arguably some of the most hazardous environments in modern industry. Despite years of safety protocols, equipment upgrades, and training programs, construction continues to rank among the top industries for workplace injuries and fatalities worldwide. For years, we’ve asked: Could artificial intelligence help? So far, the results have been mixed.Every day, millions of workers step onto construction sites—arguably some of the most hazardous environments in modern industry.

Serve is betting that food delivery and access to public markets are the keys to scaling robotics
“The only thing worse than being a public company CEO is being a private company CEO right now,” says Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics. Access to capital, he argues, is everything in robotics. And in today’s “FOMO-driven” venture climate, securing funds is far from guaranteed. Backed by Nvidia and Uber, Serve recently […]“The only thing worse than being a public company CEO is being a private company CEO right now,” says Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics.
